Penguin 1st Edition, published 1957.
This original and witty book may be described as a record of individual initiation into the ordinary ways of life in the back streets of Marrakesh. It is introduced by an epic account of the technique and importunities of a would-be guide and mentor. Mr Mayne went to Morocco on the impulse of an urge to write and with a strong preference for life among Muslims. He tells a delightful personal story of his ever increasing friendship with the ordinary people of the Medina.
Condition grading: Very Good. Some wear to bottom of spine. Creases to bottom edge and top right part of rear cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
