GOODREADS:
This is a charming book by Bemelmans, known primarily for his children's book, Madeleine. Bemelmans traveled extensively in Latin American before the 2nd World War; he says the he collapsed all the countries he visited into one - Ecuador - as that was his favorite country. The language is quite "outdated," but - sadly - was generally acceptable at the time of writing in describing relationships between Indians and Europeans. His descriptions of modes of transport, food, a difficult trip in the jungle on horseback are fun to read. And his descriptions of his fellow European travelers are also quite amusing.
