The Kiskadee is a bird native to Guyana and often referred to in Edgar Mittelholzer's brilliant novel, The Life and Death of Sylvia (1953). The bird is so named because its cry seemed by French colonists to be enquiring: "Qu’ est ce qu’il dit?". So what did he say? This blog is about two key topics: EDGAR MITTELHOLZER (his life and his works) and ME (my encounter with Mittelholzer and tales of life in Guyana).

Ah so you know that river I told you about? The one I go bathing in? Yar well say hello to Mr Piranha. A guest caught him in under 5 minutes of fishing. Note to self: stick to rainwater showers.
