Barbary Sheep: A Romance Classic By Robert Smythe Hichens! AAA+++

Mr. Hichens again displays his indescribable power in setting forth the mystery, the fascination, the strange atmosphere of the desert. Blended with this wonderful setting are the lives of a young English lord and his wife, and a handsome Arab army officer who plies his crafty arts upon the heroine while her husband is absent hunting. The story is charged with the heat, passion, and swift action that befit a romance of the Algerian desert. "An improbable romance, strong in natural descriptions." -- The New York Times
