Burning Sands is a 1921 dramatic adventure novel by the British writer Arthur Weigall. It was originally published in Britain under the alternative title The Dweller in the Desert. [1] Set in the Middle East, the novel was a riposte to the 1919 novel The Sheik by E. M. Hull. [2]
Film adaptation
In 1922 it was adapted into an American silent film Burning Sands directed by George Melford and starring Wanda Hawley, Milton Sills and Jacqueline Logan. [3] It was produced by Paramount Pictures who were hoping to capitalise on the enormous success of the previous year's film version of The Sheik. [4]
