Description
A travel book by Edith Wharton, published at New York in 1920. Charles Scribner's Sons issued it, with illustrations. Wharton dedicates it to General Lyautey and his wife. Their kindness made the dreamed journey surpass the dream, she writes. She begins by noting Morocco still lacks a guide-book. Her trip could not quite supply one, she admits.
War conditions shaped the journey in 1918. German submarines made the sea route slow and uncertain. A military motor replaced the Djinn's carpet each morning. One month had to cover the country from the Mediterranean to the High Atlas. Rain would end motoring in the Spanish zone by November. What she lost in leisure she gained in timing. France's protectorate was remaking Morocco that very season.
