About this book:
A Glimpse Into Badawin Life In Kuwait and Sau'di Arabia.
This is an incredibly detailed, historical and social story, from an Englishman born in Syria, where his father was the British consul. He spoke Arabic, was close to influential tribesmen and gained insight into their daily lives.
According to Freya Stark, "This book does for the Arabs of northern Neid and southern Syria and Iraq what Mr. G.W. Murray's book did for the inhabitants of Egypt; it is as conscientious, detailed and authoritative and indispensable to all who wish to travel or live in these regions: it is even more complete because of the careful and accurate drawings with which Mrs. Dickson has filled in the details of daily life in the tents.... the factual facts it gives and the care taken to make them accurate and complete will make it indispensable to specialists."
