BACK in October I
told how much I enjoyed News From Tartary, an account of a 3,500-mile journey across China and into India undertaken in 1935 by Peter Fleming, older brother of James Bond-author Ian.
The following month I ordered two more
books by the elder Fleming, the first of which, Brazilian Adventure, I recently finished.
It tells of a failed expedition to discover the fate of an explorer who went missing in the Amazon jungle in 1925.

The book was highly praised - "extraordinarily good," Sunday Times; "crammed with sound observation," JB Priestly - and I certainly do not demur.
