A very nice copy (NF/VG+)of the first edition. While in the Western Himalaya, anthropologist and explorer Michael Peissel encountered the Minaro, a strange tribe of tall, fair-skinned people who hold a set of distinctive beliefs. Could these forgotten people, wondered Peissel, be the 'Dards' of Herodotus 'Histories', inhabitants of a land of giant ants which dig up gold itself. An exciting story of exploration and adventure, The Ants' Gold is also a unique account of the beliefs and ways of life of the last aborigines of Tibet.
