Publisher's Note In JOURNEY OF THE PINK DOLPHINS, nature writer Sy Montgomery begins a quest through the world's great rain forest on a search for the enigmatic and little-studied pink dolphin, the most ancient species of toothed whale. Local river people say the pink dolphins are magical. In the guise of human desire, they can claim your soul and take you to the Encante, an enchanted world beneath the river.
To track these elusive animals, Montgomery took four trips into the heart of the Amazon, where shamans commune with the Mother of the Vine and pink dolphins perform their river water ballet. Mark Plotkin, author of TALES OF A SHAMAN'S APPRENTICE, says "Here is Montgomery at her best, beckoning up to follow her in search of one of our planet's most mysterious creatures....No one is better at making you fall in love with nature."
