Book Description
Whilst young ladies in the Victorian and Edwardian eras were expected to have many creative accomplishments, they were not expected to travel unaccompanied, and certainly not to the remote corners of Southeast Europe, then part of the crumbling Ottoman Empire. But Edith Durham was no ordinary lady. In 1900, at the age of 37, Durham set sail for the Balkans for the first time. Her trip was intended as a means of recovering from a period of ill-health, and as a break from the stifling monotony of caring for her ailing mother. Her experiences on this trip were to change the course of her life, kindling a profound love for the region which saw her return frequently in the following decades. She became a confidante of the King of Montenegro, ran a hospital in Macedonia and, following the outbreak of the First Balkan War in 1912, became one of the world's first female war correspondents. Back in England, she was renowned as an expert on the region, writing the highly successful book High Albania and, along with other aficionados such as the MP Aubrey Herbert, becoming an advocate for the people of the Balkans in British political life and society. King Zog of Albania once said that before Durham visited the Balkans, Albania was but a geographical expression. By the time she left, he added, her championship of his compatriots' desire for freedom had helped add a new state to the map. Durham was tremendously popular in the region itself, earning her the affectionate title 'Queen of the Mountains' and an enduring legacy which continues unabated until this day. Yet she has been all but forgotten in the country of her birth. Marcus Tanner here tells the fascinating story of Durham's relationship with the Balkans, painting a vivid portrait of a remarkable, and sometimes formidable, woman, who was several decades ahead of her time.

Book Description
About the Author: With a major in fine art and graphic design, Susan Moss Jenkins has become a successful painter and award-winning artist. She considers the beauty of creation as her greatest inspiration to paint. Although she has done illustrative work for other authors, this is her first published work of her own featuring her rich and brilliant pastel paintings. The concept of The Mountain Queen began many years ago when Susan wrote a poem using her great-grandmother as the inspiration for a girl who loves her mountain home. As years went by, the poem seemed to take on a life of its own as it began to parallel the life of the author. In time, Susan realized that this is everyone's story and a journey towards the most beautiful hope imaginable. She knew she had to paint the story she had written so many years before. So what may seem a simple children's story actually has a deeper allegorical meaning laced with symbolism. It is Susan's hope that this book will encourage others to pursue the King of the Mountain in their own lives.
