The present volume, first published in 1860, resulted from a two-year convalescencein Algeria after ill-health bade the author to leave England for warmer climes. Unable to suppress his wandering spirit, Tristram ventures deep into the desert regions south of the Atlas Mountains, there to observe and record details of his travels. The book is a transcription of his daily journal, containing a fascinating account of his eventful journeys, the inhabitants of the country and its immense variety of flora and fauna. Few travellers have left such a keenly observed description of the region. (bron: tekst op stofomslag).
