First published in 1908, this is a marvellously rich, witty and evocative account of the great cities of Tunisia at the dawn of the 20th century. The author Graham Petrie guides us through bustling souqs and into dusty deserts, leads us around the city of Tunis, through the ruins of Carthage and into the glowing, teeming streets of Kairouan. His descriptions are brought to life with 48 watercolours taken from his sketchbook, beautifully reproduced in this handsome volume.
