On a Hoof and a Prayer: Exploring Argentina at a Gallop

Polly Evans is a great travel writer. I preferred the book about China, but this was good prep for our trip to Argentina.

I've read Polly before and will continue to as long as she writes. Her books are like taking a class in geography and history; only it's a pleasure, not a pain. On a Hoof takes you through the beautiful countryside of Argentina. While telling you of her trials and tribulations, you also learn much about the country and how these people came to inhabit the land. Polly shares the beauty in her written word, and the country comes to life under her pen. It's a pity that these types of books aren't used in the classroom, where it makes it fun to learn about other countries and people. by: Dodie Cross, author of A Broad Abroad in Thailand. www.dodiecross.com
