The year is 1930 & the British are in Arabia. Ivor Willoughby, a young Orientalist, embarks on an ambitious quest to find his father, an officer abroad with the British Army. In all of Ivor's life, Robert has returned to England only once, bedraggled & wild-eyed with tales of As'ir, a land of Sheikhs & white-turbaned bandits.

Recenzje

PRAISE FOR THE TWO POUND TRAM:

'Very occasionally one comes across a book which, in its unexpected delights, inspires one to leap about wild with praise, and rush out to buy copies for friends. This first work by William Newton, retired doctor, will surely have this effect on many readers . . . Newton is a wonderful find, it's my book of the year and I shall give it to everyone for Christmas' Spectator
