Description: "From the white horse appearing like an apparition, to the massive skeleton of a whale on the coast, The White Horse takes us on a magically real journey into the Pacific Coast rain forest of Colombia. A blend of travel narrative, ecological essay, history, and memoir, this book depicts a reality stranger than fiction, reminiscent of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's comment that he makes nothing up, just writes down what the people tell him. Erudite, passionate, humorous, and mysterious, Diane Thiel's writing reawakens our consciousness about the natural world and evokes the spirit of adventure. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
