This is a remarkable book told from a unique perspective. Damon Corrie is a hereditary chief of the Eagle Clan, of the Arawak Tribe based mostly in Guyana. He has made a lifelong study of the mystery animals and animal folklore of his people, and we believe that this is the first time that these remarkable accounts have been collected together in a single volume.

On top of that, the CFZ's very own Richard Freeman has added a number of appendices describing the expedition that he and Damon went on back in 2007.

We heartily recommend this new volume to anybody interested in the mysteries of South America, and the mythology which shapes the people who still live there.
