Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Donovan Pasha, and Some People of Egypt
IT is now twelve years since I began giving to the public tales of life in lands well known to me. The first of them were drawn from Aus tralia and the Islands of the Southern Pacific, where I had lived and roamed in the middle and late Eighties. They appeared in various Eng lish magazines, and were written in London, far from the scenes which suggested them. None of them were written on the spot, as it were. I did not thin/c then, and I do not think now, that this was perilous to their truthfulness. After many years of travel and home-staying observa tion I have found that all worth remembrance, the salient things and scenes, emerge clearly out of myriad impressions, and become permanent in mind and memory. Things so emerging are typical at least, and probably true.
