Description - Saddled with Darwin by Toby Green
165 years after Charles Darwin embarked on the journey which produced the most radical theory of modern times, Toby Green set out to retrace his footsteps on horseback.
Green's epic journey involved close encounters with landslides, sinking mud, and pit vipers. Saddled with Darwin is a vivid account of the evolutionary changes which have convulsed South America since Darwin's time and an incisive portrait of change across a continent.
'A very good read indeed. His epic journey takes him through wild and wonderful scenery, his style is clear and unaffected, he brings to life the people he meets and he treats the whole gruelling adventure with unquenchable enthusiasm. A pleasure.' Michael Palin
'Funny, reudite, courageous and highly eccentric.' Eric Newby
