Swimming Where Madmen Drown: Travelers' Tales from Inner Space
Swimming Where Madmen Drown Travelers' Tales from Inner Space Author:Robert Masters In times past, there was a literary genre called Travelers Tales that told of strange and exotic lands and peoples that were quite unfamiliar to the reader and stirred the imagination.
