A fine set of Meakin's Morocco Trilogy, the best work in English on Morocco up to that time. Meakin (1866-1906), was immersed in Moroccan life and culture from an early age. His father published the first English language newspaper there, The Times of Morocco, where Meakin worked from 1886, eventually becoming editor.
