The Weavers: A Tale of England and Egypt of Fifty Years Ago
By Gilbert Parker
Illustrated by Andre Castaigne

ILLUSTRATED
FIRST EDITION, SEPTEMBER 1907

Sir Horatio Gilbert George Parker, known as Gilbert Parker, was a Canadian novelist and British politician. Parker started as a teacher at the Ontario School for the deaf and dumb (in Belleville, Ontario). From there he went on to lecture at Trinity College. In 1886 he went to Australia, and became for a while associate editor of the Sydney Morning Herald. He also traveled extensively in the Pacific, Europe, Asia, Egypt, the South Sea Islands and subsequently in northern Canada. In the early nineties he began to make a growing reputation in London as a writer of romantic fiction. The best of his novels are those in which he first took for his subject the history and life of the French Canadians; and his permanent literary reputation rests on the fine quality, descriptive and dramatic, of his Canadian stories. His works include: Mrs Falchion (1893), A Lover's Diary (1894), The Battle of the Strong (1898), The Lane That Had No Turning (1900), The Right of Way (1901), Cumner's Son (1904), The Weavers (1907), Northern Lights (1909), and The Judgment House (1913).

The Weavers is an Egyptian set novel of adventure and romance of a young Quaker youth "in the toils of Mohammedan Egypt"
