Bumbling Through Sumatra is an educational yet comical adventure through the Strait of Malacca, various ports in Malaysia, and across the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The reader is taken on an entertaining journey of discovery by following the misadventures of a fictitious cast of bumbling characters as they stumble across the natural treasures and indigenous cultures of the Indonesian island of Sumatra - including the environmental challenges they currently face. With over 200 beautifully hand-drawn illustrations, the book's day-by-day account of the bumbling travellers' journey through Malaysia and Indonesia seeks to instill the reader with an environmental and cultural awareness of the region's rapidly changing situation.
