1971 In Mischief's Wake
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition of this work by H W Tilman, in the unclipped dustwrapper.
This volume comprises the narrative of three expeditions led by Tilman: Jan Mayen in the Arctic Circle, voyage in which the trusted Mischief met its end after drifting at night into a rock; the East greenland coast expedition of the following summer, with a new crew and a new boat, Sea Breeze; and the completion of the expedition the following summer, in which Sea Breeze fully negotiated the ice-barrier and put in to West Greenland.
An exciting work written in Tilman's characteristic dry humour.
With various illustrations throughout.
