Publisher's Synopsis
Following the outstanding success of her two novels, Maria and Murder on Pawley's, Margaret Haswell turns to new venues to take readers on adventures through Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the South Pacific. In Snake for Breakfast, she takes an exciting, sometimes hilarious, sometimes hair-raising, journey away from the modern highways in London to the lesser-traveled roads in India, Thailand, the Philippines and East Malaysia, where she describes with amazing freshness and vividness the places and peoples of different cultures. She invites the reader to go along with her on a journey of high adventure, to experience the sights, smells and sounds of uncharted locations, to be enthralled by personal engagements with people of many persuasions and absorb something of their rich histories in this fascinating part of the world.Illustrated with the author's own maps and photos, Snake for Breakfast is a unique and enlightening travelogue that will appeal to anyone who wishes to reminisce about their own travels, or feed the appetite of those who dream of having adventures of their own.
