An American in Yemen

After spending her early years in Cincinnati, Ohio, Peggy Crawford traveled widely in Europe, China, Japan, the Middle East...
In 1985, invited by Claudie Fayein, French doctor and ethnologist, she visited Yemen for the first time - it was love at first sight. She has returned there eight times since then, having entered with tact and tenderness into the intimate lives of a discreet people not easily encountered by a casual Westerner. She has brought back thousands of images and stories of the inexhaustible wonders of this mysterious land, and this book is an anthology of those treasures.
About her, Jean - Claude Carrière wrote : "An American woman whose great grandfather fought during the Napoleonic wars, who came to study in France in 1936 and who discovered Yemen at nearly seventy years of age must be rare today. I take little risk in saying that Peggy Crawford is unique."
