Galo Flordelis (This file was produced from images generously made available by the HathiTrust Digital Library) "Mysteries of the Libyan Desert" by W. J. Harding King is a scientific account written in the early 20th century. The book is based on King’s explorations over three years in the largely uncharted Libyan Desert, detailing both geographic and ethnographic findings while capturing the essence of traversing this enigmatic landscape. The author’s firsthand experiences illustrate the challenges faced in these remote areas, including interactions with local tribes and the natural environment. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for King’s journey into the Libyan Desert, reflecting on both its vastness and the scant literature that precedes it. King introduces his motivations for exploring this largely unknown territory, initially prompted by the Royal Geographical Society. He emphasizes the sense of allure surrounding the region and his own apprehensions as he prepares for the arduous task ahead. The text also touches upon the logistics of his expedition, including acquiring a caravan, assembling his team, and the challenging desert travel dynamics he would soon face—laying a robust foundation for the adventures that follow.
