[Joanna · Rating 4 out of 5]

An enjoyable collection of essays and travelogue where the author mixes his personal tales with other bits of history and stories. I can't remember how I came across this book, but I'm glad to have found this little-remembered book. The long piece at the end where the author travels to gold mines in Mexico was particularly interesting. Also, "Father White Mouse" was a fabulous piece. It seemed almost out of place in this collection, but I really enjoyed it.
