Places & Persons is a spirited collection of travel observations and character portraits by the renowned British socialite and author Margot Asquith. Written with her characteristic wit and sharp eye for detail, the work chronicles her experiences visiting diverse locations such as Egypt, Italy, and the United States during the early 1920s.

The book transcends the traditional travelogue by blending geographic descriptions with intimate sketches of the influential figures Asquith encountered during her journeys. As the wife of a former Prime Minister, Asquith moved within the highest echelons of global society, and her reflections offer a unique insider's view of the political and cultural climate of the post-World War I era.
Through a series of essays and personal accounts, Places & Persons captures the essence of a world in transition. Asquith's prose is both candid and sophisticated, making it an invaluable resource for readers interested in the social history of the early twentieth century and the personal perspectives of one of Britain's most outspoken public figures. The work stands as a testament to her keen intellect and her ability to document the intersection of private life and public history.
