The Swinging Caravan

From Wikisource
The Swinging Caravan (1925)
by Achmed Abdullah
[Edition: New York: Brentano's, 1925.] Tales of the East and its people which rival Kipling’s best.The Bookman, 1926 January. —— Short stories of uneven quality in Levantine settings, where sheiks and sheikesses abound. The worst story is, for some unaccountable reason, placed first. ... Some of the other stories are fascinating slices of Eastern life, and good yarns to boot. —extract from the review in The Independent, 1925 Nov 26. (Full review on the Discussion page)

"Who can interfere with what fate has written on the foreheads of all of us? Fate is a swinging caravan!"
