The author is an adopted Canadian, born in England. He is a hardy traveller, who has driven through the Americas, both North and South. He is facinated by Peru. Not to be missed are the hilarious chapters set in Australia. Like the best travel writers, he has a great sense of humor, an eye for the unexpected, and great facility with words. What made him stand out for me was the passion he found against the injustices toward the First Nation Peoples instituted by successive Canadian governments. An entertaining book which may leave you with something to think about.
