Eric Newby (1919 - 2006) was an English travel writer, one of the most prolific of the twentieth century.
He served in the Black Watch and Special Boat Section from 1940 onwards, which took him to India, Egypt, and Sicily. This would launch his passion for travelling, which he would continue to do his entire life.
