Slightly over-written (see preceding quote) but nevertheless engaging and interesting. Chapters include: 'Jungle wise'; Gondia - the mhowa-scented valleys of laughter; Smoke in the wind; Through the Mergui archipelago to farthest Tenasserim; The man-eater of Danauli; Tanoy, Siamese; Another point of view; The great blue hills of Ranga. . …
