This memoir presents the reminiscences of Blanche Arral, the Belgian singer whose love for adventure led her to travel the world concertizing rather than singing in the major opera houses a choice that caused her to be soon forgotten. In her stories, recorded by translator Ira Glackens, she reveals her amazing adventures and her acquaintance with famous actors, musicians and writers of her time. Includes a chronology and discography. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
