The adventurous Joan Fry, a young newlywed, accompanied her anthropologist husband to the back of beyond in what was then called British Honduras. Fry weaves heartfelt stories of her time in the jungle with affectionate portraits of the people, her own coming of age -- and, yes, recipes (rice and beans, pumpkin soup, gumbo and, as promised, tapir).  (BLZ22, $24.95)
