Published in 1925, this is an absolute gem of a book. From the
author's preface: "In the following chapters I have tried, by
quoting lawsuits of all kinds, and explaining the means employed to
dispose of them, to show first the conditions under which the
Bedouin live, and secondly their mentality and point of view.
Although the reader may possibly gather from the pages that follow
that I have a real affection for the Bedou himself and admiration
for most of his laws and customs, I have tried to represent his
character in full, with all his faults and failings. Descriptions
of particular cases have been purposely introduced, showing
unmistakably that Bedouin Law is no more infallible than any other
law, and that in some cases justice is not done. But in the
aggregate, it will be found that the Bedou with all his faults is a
very loveable person, and his code of laws and customs is
remarkable for its practical common sense."
