About the Book

'The most hilarious travel book in many years' - Standard.

Armed with equipment and advice from 22 SAS, Hereford, and accompanied by three trackers, Redmond O'Hanlon, the naturalist, and James Fenton, the poet, set out on a long river voyage into the interior of a tropical jungle hoping to reach the Tiban massif. At once funny and knowledgeable, Redmond O'Hanlon's account of how they battled with insects, discomfort and setbacks is a hugely entertaining and informative adventure story in the best tradition of the world's great travel classics.

'A marvellous book ... a very funny and expert witness' - Edward St Aubyn in the Tatler.
'Consistently exciting, often funny, and erudite without ever being overwhelming' - Punch.
