What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Signed
The first edition of this work, signed by the author. A short autobiographical story recollecting Grenfell's misfortune as he was left adrift on an ice pan on his way to a patient's home. In sight of land, the Labrador doctor's mindset is displayed in this short book in complete honesty and transparency. A truly inspiring and interesting story, where the only reason Grenfell survived was out of pure sheer luck.
