When Margaret Laurence set out for Somaliland with her engineer husband
in 1950, she confronted the difficulty of communication between peoples
of vastly different cultures. Yet she came to know the skilled orators,
poets and craftsmen of the country, and to share the vision of a
people's struggle for survival in a barren land.

The Prophet's Camel Bell is part travelogue, part autobiography, part
celebration of human nature, and essential reading for anyone who has
ever been a stranger in a strange land.
