AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A missionary couple are lost in the desert. Their son Martin is raised by an Aboriginal tribe and becomes a 'leader' amongst them. Beatrice Lynne, a society journalist, is sent to look for him but she's captured by an Afghan camel driver, and sold to the very man she's looking for. Slowly she discovers that in fact he's far from what she regards as uncivilised.
