| Travel writer and novelist, born in Sliema, Malta. He went to Spain in 1919 and settled in Yegen, an isolated village which became the focus of his classic South from Granada (1957). This was preceded by his best-known book, The Spanish Labyrinth (1943), still regarded as one of the most perceptive studies of modern Spain. He had a love affair with British artist Dora Carrington (1893–1932). |
