With a characteristic sense of adventure, Wharton set out to explore Morocco and its people, recording her impressions and encounters. She traveled--by military jeep--to Rabat, Moulay Idriss, Fex and Marrakech, from the Atlantic coast to the high Atlas. Along the way she witnessed religious ceremonies and ritual dances, visited the opulent palaces of the Sultan and was admitted to the mysterious world of his harem. Her narrative is as rich as the souks through which she wandered, peopled with story-tellers and warriors, slaves and silk-spinners; an evocative and intimate portrait of an extraordinary country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdith Wharton \u003c\/b\u003ewrote more than forty volumes of novels, poetry, essays, memoirs and travel books, including \u003ci\u003eThe House of Mirth\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Age of Innocence\u003c\/i\u003e, for which she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize.
