As the old saying goes, you can't get enough of a good thing! Signed copies of the most fun Shackleton book I've read to-date. Very well written and illustrated. A must for kids (like me).
Shackleton always craved for fame. In his time of glory, schoolchildren would write him fan letters and send him
their modest pocket money to fund his next polar expedition. Had the Boss been alive today he would be thrilled
by this most excellent rendition of his little boat journey. The most fun Shackleton book I've read to-date.
Very well written and illustrated. Youngsters will love reading this book.
I loved it. My congratulations to David Butler and Gavin McCumiskey.
Go buy this little piece of fun!

Thank David, great book! You weren't kidding...it's beautifully illustrated and I love the way it brings the story home...literally...another fine book for my collection. Amazon review to go up soon! Cheers shipmate!!
This is a wonderfully illustrated book that takes you on a journey back in time to an age when men were made
of iron and sailed in little wooden boats. Sir Ernest Shackleton's great escape from Antarctica captured in a 93
beautifully caricatured pages: the greatest journey of polar survival, the daring exploits of 28 men, an inspiring
tale of men facing adversity against unimaginable odd...what makes it even more amazing is that it is based on
true events! Seldom do you come across a story which can paint a thousand words, seldom do you encounter
such camaraderie, the kind of story which makes you realize how small we are in comparison to the vastness
of nature! This book recounts a story about endurance, duty, loyalty, optimism, resilience and heroism.
Shackleton and his men forced nature to bend to their will, the most powerful kind of will, that of survival.
David Butler is an exceptionally talented illustrator and I can't wait to see what he will produce next?
Lawrence of Arabia? Mutiny on the Bounty? George Mallory & Everest?
