A travelogue hymning the mountains of Persia, written after a visit to her diplomat husband, Sir Harold Nicolson, who was posted to Tehran in 1925. This was a landscape that affected Sackville-West profoundly, inspiring some of her most lyrical prose. A companion volume to the author's classic Passenger to Teheran, a journey taken a year earlier.
