An early work from the private press founded in 1936 by George Lionel Seymour Dawson-Damer, Viscount Carlow (1907–1944), which printed in very limited editions new work from such writers as T. E. Lawrence, James Joyce, Wyndham Lewis, Edmund Blunden, Stefan Zweig, Walter de la Mare and H. E. Bates. A printed note after the colophon-leaf in the present work reads: "These tales were written in ink at the beginning of a diary which the author kept while travelling in Northern Arabia during 1911. There were probably an Arabic exercise."
