Lady Blunt was the granddaughter of Lord Byron and wife of Wilfrid Scawen Blunt. To find out how the bedouin lived, Lady Anne lived like one herself; she became a temporary nomad, riding the two thousand miles from the Mediterranean to the Arabian Gulf for the most part in Arab dress, and without guides. She and her husband were trusted and accepted by the Bedouin to the extent that the Amir himself presented them with his choicest brood mares to take home for their famous Crabbet Arabian Stud.

First edition. 2 volumes, 8vo, xx, 346; x, 283 pp., 32 pages ads date May 1878 at end, 12 plates, folding map, folding table, modern red morocco gilt, all edges gilt, a fine set.
