5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Adventures in Brazil!, 10 Feb 2001
I read Peter Fleming's, excellent "News from Tartary" and wanted some more. These tales are from a lost time, when parts of the world were still untouched by all of us. Made me laugh out loud so many times. But what did happen to Colonel Fawcett?? Does anyone know?

5.0 out of 5 stars compelling reading, 30 April 2006
By Rosemary Lowdell (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A hilarious, gripping account of 1930s Englishness facing the wilderness of the Pantanal. A great adventure from cover to cover, which also details the beauty of the wildlife they encountered and compels the reader to visit, in the hope that some of it is still there today. The book is also fascinating from an historical point of view, showing awful colonial attitudes towards the indigineous people of Mato Grosso and the tendancy to shoot everything that moves whether for food or fun. Flemings unceasing competitive nature and determination to succeed in every mission are a great inspiration to all travellers. Extremely entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book!, 31 Oct 2000
By Dick Dashwood (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
A cracking adventure, written in a beautifully tongue-in-cheek style. Think the bastard offspring of PG Wodehouse and Douglas Adams (if that were physically possible. Or desirable) venturing into the depths of unchartered Brazil on little more than a whim.
