Synopsis:

An account of the author's travels from Toul in France through Switzerland to Rome, in the footsteps of Hilaire Belloc. Despite obvious cultural changes, after two world wars, there is one immutable aspect of Browne's journey which cannot change - human nature.

Review: '... the real thing:the excitement, delight, hardship, beauty and danger of paddling into unexplored Amazon forests... told with charm and knowledge' -- Dr John Hemming, formerly Director of the Royal Geographical Society, author of 'Red Gold: the Conquest of the Brazilian Indians' and 'The Conquest of the Incas' - March 03

'An enjoyable read full of amusing anecdotes which leave you yearning to find out what happens to Browne on the next part of his colourful Journey' -- The Daily Express
