"In Patagonia" is an English travel book written by Bruce Chatwin and published in 1977. Its ingenuity has become a source of inspiration for travel writers. "With this book," a reviewer noted, "Chatwin redefined the genre of travel writing with his little nuggets of historical information weaved intricately together with his search for anecdotes." [http://www.howtotellagreatstory.com/bookclub/review26.html] "The New York Times" described it as a "little masterpiece of travel, history, and adventure." [http://www.powells.com/biblio?isbn=0142437190] Chatwin's fascination with Patagonia had its roots in a scrap of mylodon skin that sailor Charley Milward, his grandmother's uncle, had sent back to England.

"In Patagonia" was awarded the Hawthornden Prize and the E. M. Forster Award
