Wayfarers in the Libyan Desert. New York, The Knickerbocker Press for G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1912.
. Pp. ix, (3), 255. With frontispiece and many illustrations after photographs in the text. Original red cloth, gilt, t.e.g. First US edition, published simultaneously with the UK edition. Lady Evelyn Cobbold (1867-1963) spent her early childhood holidays in Algeria and Egypt which introduced her to Islam. She learnt to speak Arabic fluently and converted to Islam in the late 1880s. This is a journal of Lady Evelyn's travels through Egypt to the Libyan Desert together with her American friend Frances Gordon Alexander. They visited the ancient city of Memphis, the City of the Dead, the ancient pyramid complex Dahshur, and finally arrived at the Mokattam hills (Cairo). This work was jointly written by the two women, and the English edition was issued under Lady Evelyn's name and the American edition (which contains a slightly different text) was issued under Alexander's name. Robinson p.41.
