Meakin (1866-1906), was immersed in Moroccan life and culture from an early age. His father published the first English language newspaper there, The Times of Morocco, where Meakin worked from 1886, eventually becoming editor. More than just an ex-pat, Meakin adopted an Arabic name and wore local dress, becoming proficient in the language and publishing an English-Arabic Dictionary. The trilogy provides us with a comprehensive view of Morocco and its history.
