Edited by Barry Carman and John McPherson. With a preface by Lawrence Durrell. 'Joseph McPherson, a classical scholar with an Oxford degree in Natural Sciences, a linguist, athlete and determined individualist, arrived in Egypt in 1901. He fell in love with the country, its people and customs and stayed their until his death in 1946. During that time he wrote thousands of pages of letters home and this volume presents, for the first time, an edited selection of these.'
