Coloured map front endpapers. The book is the story of Thor Heyerdahl's love of mystery - and of an island and its people. Over 30 years ago, the man who did such important, pioneering work in Kon-Tiki wrote another book Aku-Aku about Easter Ispand. He was invited later to return to Easter Island and there confronted the conundrum of the famous haunting statues that stud the lovely island, massive and mysterious. How were they made? How were they moved? What did the natives mean when they had said, those many years earlier, that 'the statues walked'?
