Norman Pearn, a young Cornishman, risked his life to visit Hadhramut, a previously unexplored corner of Arabia. His remarkable travel commentary not only adds an important contribution to the romantic story of Arabia, but also gives a personal record of fascinating experiences and adventures.

Norman Pearn was a traveller and explorer. Vernon Barlow was a successful writer in the subject and helped with the preparation of this exploration in book form.
