Description:
1959. London, George Allen & Unwin Ltd., [1967]. Thick 8vo. Original burnt ochre cloth in original pictorial dust-wrapper; pp. 664; numerous illustrations from photographs, illustrations to text, 12 maps including 8 folding, 6 folding genealogical tables; lower panel of wrappers with light spotting, slight bumps to two corners, internally remarkably clean and fresh. Fourth impression of the second, enlarged edition, with the original wrapper design by Quilter unchanged since 1949. Dickson forms part of that tradition of British writers and travellers - Burton, Doughty, T.E. Lawrence, Bertram Thomas, H. St. John Philby, Gertrude Bell, Freya Stark, Thesiger - who became fascinated by Arabia and the Arabs, often espousing their causes and aspirations.

Description:
London, Allen & Unwin, 1959. . Third impression; 8vo, 664 pp, frontispiece, numerous illustrations, 6 folding genealogical charts, original cloth, dust-wrapper, light wear, a very good copy. The preferred edition with the first publication of the 3 maps intended for the second impression but never issued, and with the charts bound into the book for ease of use. Dickson the son of the British consul in Damascus, had unrivalled access to the desert tribes as a result of being wet-nursed by a Badawi woman. The work is thorough an comprehensive. Completed in 1936, due to the difficulties of typing the manuscript and drawing the text illustrations in desert winds and sand and the disruptions of WWII, it was not published until 1949.
