Summary "In a Syrian Saddle" by A. Goodrich-Freer is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the author's journey through the landscapes and cultures of Syria, focusing particularly on the experiences of a group of explorers, including notable characters such as the Professor, the Lady, and the Doctor. The narrative documents their adventures and encounters as they ride across the region, revealing both the natural beauty and historical richness of their surroundings. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for the journey, introducing the reader to the companions preparing to travel from Jerusalem to Jericho. Goodrich-Freer describes the challenges and quirkiness of life in the Holy Land, contrasting it with Western standards, and outlining the group's excitement and camaraderie as they set off on horseback. The vivid descriptions of the terrain and the interplay between ancient history and present-day realities provide an engaging backdrop as the party maneuvers through the rugged landscape, dealing with both natural obstacles and the eccentricities of local life. Overall, the beginning establishes the book's tone of adventure and exploration, suggesting a rich tapestry of experiences waiting to unfold. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
