| Summary | "In the Tail of the Peacock" by Isabel Savory is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. This work explores the intricacies of life in Morocco, specifically the cultural and natural landscapes encountered by the author and her companion as they navigate through the country. The book promises an intimate portrayal of the idiosyncrasies of Moroccan life and scenery, with a focus on observations rather than thrilling adventures. The opening of the narrative paints a vivid picture of the Moroccan landscape, particularly the author's arrival in Tangier, where she reflects on the contrasts between the impressions formed from an English upbringing and the reality of the vibrant, yet primitive life found in Morocco. The early chapters detail their experiences with local people, the bustling market scenes, and the challenges of traversing the landscape. The author’s journey begins with an emphasis on the stark differences in customs and culture, as she and her companion prepare to venture further into the heart of Morocco, highlighting both the beauty and hardship that define this unique region.
