Aloft


'Trail of Feathers - In Search of the Birdmen of Peru' - Tahir Shah.

Did the Inca soar through austral heavens? Old legends, shamans, textile records and the accounts of 16th c. Spanish monks all say yes. Through Andean fastnesses, jungles and arid wastes, the author searches Peru for his own answers. Shah's 'trail of feathers' reminds us there is more than one way to fly.
