In the summer of 1955, five under-graduates officially sponsored by the Oxford University Exploration Club, set off in a truck they names 'Tartarin' to visit the Berber tribes in the Atlas Mountains of Southern Morocco. The party included a zoologist, botanist, and an ethnologist, and their aim was to study the people and fauna and flora of this remote part of North Africa.
This is a light hearted account of the expedition by its leader, who have the rare ability to tell a good story with grace and humour.
