THREE IN THE JUNGLE

Mayan country and jungles for the adventures of three youngsters, Teddy, recently arrived from the United States, Catarins, daughter of an English rubber planter, and Sao Chel, a Mayan boy wise in the ways of his people. Teddy's disbelief in jungle dangers and local customs, the hunting of a jaguar, the trip to Mayan ruins, on which they get lost, but are saved by the mountain people and are privileged to learn some of their secrets -- these are the framework on which much Mayan lore and information are hung. Better than usual story of this type.
