Lesley Blanch

 

Time traveller

Born in London in 1904,

she was entranced as a child

by a mysterious Russian, later her lover,

who instilled a love of the exotic.

She became features editor of Vogue,

then married the writer Romain Gary

who took her to Bulgaria and the US,

where she wrote a cult book

which pioneered a new approach to history writing.

Now 101, she is writing a new volume of memoirs
