About
The Secret Life of the Andes is a quiet, compelling tale of the lonely life in the high mountain reaches, and the training of a young Inca boy to carry on the traditions and the wisdom of this proud race, which was to be his destiny. It is a story of breathless surprise, of kindliness and patient understanding, with an actual and perceptive feeling for place and people.
