Persian Pictures
Bell wrote very evocative descriptions of her travels through what was then known as Persia. We don't really get a whole, clear picture of her trip, but each vignette is a lovely experience to read. With charming brevity, Belk is able to capture simple scenes and make them feel alive. The last few chapters wax philosophical a bit, and don't have quite as much spark, but this book is an enjoyable old travelogue.
