SamenvattingThe 1001 Nights of Drummer Donald McLeod charts the life and adventures of one of the most extraordinary of Scottish heroes. As a young Highland soldier Donald gets caught up in the Egyptian campaign of the Napoleonic wars. Following a military disaster he is sold into slavery to the Egyptian aristocracy. After his liberation he converts to Islam and becomes the owner of a harem, and friend and favourite dragonman to British travellers such as A W Kinglake and the Scottish painter David Wilkie. The book takes us from the Highland Diaspora to the land of 1001 nights, from the life of the harem and its guardian eunuchs to the sublime reaches of Mecca. An informative historical novel with a stunning blend of fact and fiction, it is a polished, pacey and vastly entertaining tale.
