Last Saturday, the world lost one of its most contagious and mischievous smiles, and twinkliest but keen-sighted pair of eyes: those of the traveller, travel writer and art historian Michael Jacobs, who died of cancer, which was diagnosed last September. Michaels sense of adventure was boundless. His last, and probably finest book, The Robber of Memories, related a journey to the source of the Magdalena river in Colombia. He charted his slow progress with wit and poetry, but the real theme was a relationship across time and space with his elderly mother in London and her Alzheimers.
