An Explorer Comes Home

An Explorer Comes Home is Roy Chapman Andrews’s autobiographical account of life after his celebrated years of exploration. Returning from decades of travel across the world, Andrews settles into a quieter life at his farm in the Berkshire Hills of Connecticut.

The book describes his new surroundings, family life, country adventures, animals, fishing, hunting, farming, and the unexpected experiences that fill his days away from the great expeditions. Combining personal memories, humor, nature, and adventure, Andrews presents a fascinating contrast between the excitement of his earlier travels and the pleasures of life at home.
