PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Hassoldt's tale of exploring French Guiana with his adventurous new wife, originally published in 1952. Quite a honeymoon! Their adventures include a visit to the penal colony at Devil's Island and an absorbing account of a exploratory canoe trip 300 miles up the Maroni River to the border with Brazil. An adventurer, storyteller and personality, Hassldt (1907-1959) wrote a series of tales, this classic returned to print thanks to the good efforts of Lawrence Millman, who provides the introduction.
