Here, graphically written and illustrated , is the perfect travel book. Wai-Wai is the first account of genuine exploration in a region which is almost unknown. For centuries, strange stories have come to us from the basin of the Amazon - of White Indians, of human beings living like otters in underwater caves, of the lost city of Kashima, and of female warriors. Nicholas Guppy penetrated the upper waters of the Rio Alto Trombetas to bring back this report. The result is all at once scientific discovery and magnificent adventure. 'Gives a fascinating account both of this still unspoiled Indian tribe and of the unique untouched rain-forests of the Guiana-Brazil border....' Dr. Julian Huxley.
