Published June 1928
EFB provided the foreword to this autobiography by Mrs Aubrey Le Blond (1860-1934). Here's a quote from the review of said book:
The author's reminiscences are those of a woman of wide experience and varied interests who has taken part in many branches of human activity and can speak with intimate knowledge of many well-known men and women. [...] It is a record of personal achievement and sincere enthusiasm for life, an enthusiasm which she undoubtedly communicates to the reader. The foreword is written by Mr E. F. Benson [...]Source: Notes on Books by 'Critic', in The Devon and Exeter Gazette, 26/06/1928. Mrs Le Blond was a keen alpinist, which is undoubtedly how Fred knew her ... or at least of her.
