"Redmond O'Hanlon, a British naturalist, is so addicted to the joys of exotic flora and fauna that he has risked life and limb journeying to the last untouched places on the earth...he blunders through the jungle like a benign, chubby Mr. Magoo, gleefully recounting tales of colorful flowers, resplendent birds, piranhas, crocodiles, bird-eating spiders, giant leeches, poisonous darts, and headhunters. In writing that combines the Marx Brothers, Darwin, and 'The Heart of Darkness', O'Hanlon dryly observes the delights, horrors, and absurdities indigenous to the jungle."O'Hanlon, Redmond is the author of 'In Trouble Again A Journey Between the Orinoco and the Amazon', published 1990 under ISBN 9780679727149 and ISBN 0679727140.
