From the Author
I am passionate about Madagsacar!
It was love at first sight! After two years of living and travelling in Africa I was utterly beguiled by the "otherness" of Madagascar when I first went there in 1996. Everything I saw, from people to plants and animals, were different from anything I had experienced elsewhere. I became a committed Madophile. First I convinced a tour operator to let me lead trips there, then I wrote a booklet for my tourists explaining the history, wildlife and culture of the island, and in 1986 I spent three months researching the first edition of this guide. I have since returned over 20 times and have written three other Madagascar books as well as countless articles. Madophilia is incurable! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
