Editorial Reviews
Amazon Review
Flannery’s exuberance over the wildlife he encounters is interesting enough, but it’s his ability to capture the indigenous perspective that makes this book worth reading. When his new-found friends learn, for instance, of the widespread custom of circumcision, they fall about in paroxysms of laughter. Equally perplexing (to an elderly gentlemen who has never seen rice) is how Flannery and his cronies could chance upon so many delectable ant-eggs. With 14 pages of colourful, enticing, “wish-I-could-go-there-right-now” photos. —Martha Silano
