Caroline
Alexander - Mrs. Chippy's last expedition.
The remarkable journal of Shackleton's polar-bound cat
De achterflap:
When Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance became
trapped in the Antarctic ice, all twenty-nine members of
the crew were pushed to their limits of survival, including
Mrs. Chippy, the ship's estimable cat. Fortunately for posterity,
Mrs. Chippy left a diary of the ordeal.
Closely based on the true events of Shackleton's heroic
journey, and illustrated with authentic photographs taken
by Frank Hurley, expedition photographer, Mrs. Chippy's
Last Expedition is a firsthand account of one of the
greatest adventures in history - from a unique point of
view.
