An avid world traveller


 An avid world traveller, Barbara visited countless countries all over the world, often capturing the highlights on film and incorporating the sights and sounds, culture and histories she witnessed into her fiction.

Here we see Barbara looking beautiful in the warm Tunisian sun for the 1973 Christmas card. Perhaps this expedition provided her with the inspiration for Blessing of the Gods, her novel set in 1882, as France finally established Tunisia as a French protectorate.
