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 Gond people of India. Meeting a Gond story-teller, Tahir Shah heard their ancient saga. He vowed to visit all three parts of ancient Gondwanaland.
This is his adventure as he traveled. He met wanderers and expatriates, attended magical ceremonies, and looked for treasure. Roughing it most of the way, the author's expeditions ranged from India, Pakistan, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Liberia, Brazil, and Argentina's Patagonian glaciers.
