description: Tantalizing encounters from around the world, many of them dating from an age of innocence. The world was sweeter, and the remote was more distant. The title piece, and the two that follow, are set in northern Mexico. We then travel to the United States, Greece and the elaborately interconnected Aegean and Mediterranean worlds, to Egypt, Venice, Sicily, Sardinia, Malta. And then to the Pacific paradise of French Polynesia, as it was, as it has become. The book ends in Austria, with an incident originated on Easter Island. And so Carol Miller reveals not just places and people but topics as well: the Olympic Games, Lindbergh, Gaugain, gold mining, belly dancing, volcanoes, conquest, cunning, missionary verve, the beginnings of banking and trade, the age of exploration, the history of art and archaeology.
