Sketches and local legends are interwoven in this travelogue, on the Ethiopian Central Highlands, exploring the Portuguese architectural legacy, near ruins now but with echoes of its lost splendour still remaining in the Amhara oral tradition. This book perfectly illustrates and illuminates how drawing can play a more active part in ethnography.
