Laura Was My Camel is Arthur Weigall's warm and witty memoir recounting his remarkable experiences in Egypt, centering on his affectionate relationship with his camel, Laura, and the colourful cast of animals and characters that populated his extraordinary life along the Nile. Weigall, a noted Egyptologist and Inspector-General of Antiquities for Upper Egypt, chronicles these encounters with the eye of a scholar and the soul of a natural storyteller, bringing to life a world of archaeological wonder and untamed wilderness. Illustrated with charming line drawings by O. Soglow, the book balances gentle humour with genuine pathos, offering an intimate portrait of a man deeply attuned to both the ancient past and the living, breathing world around him. For those who have ever wondered what it truly means to share one's life with the animal kingdom in one of history's most storied landscapes, Weigall's account offers an answer that is as touching as it is unforgettable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203211600091,"sku":"2026200015464-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/70447e96-ee86-43a7-b290-9df49e95d6b5.png?v=1788145863","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015464-secondhand-laura-was-my-camel","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
