He has a good eye for the odd, the weird and the curious, and the book is full of some of the strangest facts imaginable: the tribe which marries ten-year-old boys to thirty-year-old women; the method of training a sloth bear to dance; the market where you can buy herbal remedies to hasten your enemy's menopause or procure the growth of a serpent in her intestines; philtres to spread or extinguish the fires of love; a sap which, painted on the skin, ensures invisibility against tigers...a joy to read' William Dalrymple, Spectator 'A marvellous travel book' Independent 'The best travel writer of our age, if not since Marco Polo' Auberon Waugh Please note, the image is for illustrative purposes only, actual book cover, binding and edition may vary.
