An engaging historical account of nine remarkable explorers who travelled across the Arabian Peninsula between the Renaissance and the Victorian era. Written by Zahra Freeth, daughter of H. R. P. Dickson and Violet Dickson of Kuwait, alongside historian Victor Winstone, the book recounts the journeys of figures including Carsten Niebuhr, Richard Burton, Charles Doughty, and Lady Anne Blunt. Their experiences offer a fascinating perspective on Arabia's landscapes, peoples, and history before the modern era.
Published in 1978, this first American edition retains its original illustrated yellow dust jacket and brown cloth hardcover binding. In very good vintage condition, with light wear to the jacket edges and corners, particularly around the upper spine. The interior appears clean and well preserved, with an earlier owner's bookplate and bookseller's label inside the front cover.
