Reader's note

Add a pop of pink to your home library with this 1948 edition of The Worst Journey in the World by Apsley Cherry-Garrard!

It is more lonely than London, more secluded than any monastery, and the post comes but once a year. As men will compare the hardships of France, Palestine, or Mesopotamia, so it would be interesting to contrast the rival claims of the Antarctic as a medium of discomfort...'
