Book Overview
A young explorer sets out on a difficult journey to discover a lost Peruvian City of Gold, but he isn't able to find the treasure until the voice of Grandmother Fire visits him in the night. Legends tell of Vilcabamba--a lost City of Gold built by the Incas and mysteriously abandoned somewhere in the mountains of Peru. When a young explorer hears of the legend, he sets out in search of the fabled city. He claims the Mountains of the Moon, descends into the Valley of the Shadows, and explores the River of the Rainbow, but the ancient city and its gold are nowhere to be found. Exhausted from the difficult journey, the explorer falls asleep by his campfire and dreams of an old woman sharing with him the first story ever told. When he awakens, he knows he has found what he was looking for.

One of the greatest stories!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is the Incan creation myth presented in a beautiful children's book. The illustrations are lovely and my 5 year-old daughter loves reading this story over and over again. It is a combination adventure story and fable rolled into an easy to read book that will teach children, and adults, reverance for the natural world and an understanding an indigenous culture.
