Fascinating and true stories of travellers who were caught up in unexpected events or tricky situations: a South American revolution, a plane crash in the desert, a cannibal conclave, a journey with a mad prospector, an encounter with pirates. Journeys into the unknown, which often result in a struggle for survival…. This is the ninth Rupa anthology compiled by Ruskin Bond. Like the others, it is full of good writing. Here are stories to charm or thrill – true tales of travellers who often found themselves in tight corners, and how they got out of them!"
