C. H. (Cecil Herbert) Prodgers

C. H. Prodgers, or Cecil Herbert Prodgers, was an English explorer and travel writer best known for Adventures in Bolivia and Adventures in Peru. His published work presents South America through the eyes of someone who traveled widely and wrote from direct experience.

Adventures in Bolivia, published in 1922, was introduced by R. B. Cunninghame Graham and advertised as being illustrated from Prodgers's own sketches and photographs, which helps explain the lively, on-the-ground quality of the book. A later work, Adventures in Peru, appeared in 1924, the year of his death.

Though not widely remembered today, Prodgers left behind travel books that still appeal to readers who enjoy classic exploration narratives, especially those rich in observation and a strong sense of place.
