In the spring of 1982, 68-year-old George Griffiths sailed solo from Britain to Barbados, where he was met by his two sons. The younger son, Mark, joined his father to sail home to Canada. Mark's older brother, Blair, flew home to begin work as a cameraman documenting the Canadian Mount Everest Expedition Team, with its 26 climbers, 30 Sherpas and more than 200 porters. Six months later, Blair Griffiths was dead, crushed by a six-story wall of Everest ice. Through heroic efforts the team finally managed to recover Blair's remains, and there followed a heartbreaking cremation on a pyre of rhododendron boughs. Eventually two of the team succeeded in summiting the mountain. In 1985, George Griffiths trekked with his grandson to Everest Base Camp, where Blair's ashes were laid, in order to say goodbye. In this place of awe and majesty among mountains and sky, father and adventurer found peace.

Here for your delectation is the SPECTACULAR AND RARE------------------ABANDONED by G.D. Griffiths. In spite of an eventful time on Dartmoor heath that includes flood, brush fire, foxhounds and hardhearted humans, the life of this feral she-cat is fairly tame. Her life is so eventful in this low-keyed story (sentimental only when humans enter the picture). It is most sympathetic when it appears to be a realistic, stray's eye view of life. This incident-crowded narrative achieves the instant identification with the animal heroine that pet lovers will thoroughly enjoy. This is the OVERSIZED softcover stated FIRST YEARLING EDITION FROM MARCH, 1976. Other than a name on the title page and staining from storage, the book is in excellent reading condition. There are no rips, tears, markings, etc.---and the pages and binding are tight (see photo). Check my feedback to see that I sell exactly as I describe. So bid now for this magnificent, impossible-to-find ANIMAL / LITERARY COLLECTIBLE.
