Forty-five million years ago, the supercontinent of Gondwanaland split apart. This created what are now known as India, Africa and South America. The huge land-mass was named after the Gonds, a primitive tribe of central India. Meeting a Gond story-teller, Tahir Shah heard their ancient saga. He vowed to make an epic journey across Gondwanaland. A fascinating journey from a very original point of view. Robert Twigger, Literary Review.
