Timbuktu had shrunk to a mud town in the sand by the time he arrived, and it still took the better part of a year to get there. Haywood crossed West Africa and then the Sahara north to the Mediterranean: the Niger, the caravans, the wells, the tribes, the salt trade, and a desert crossing that had been killing travellers for a thousand years and had not got any easier.
