I'm betting your book was more entertaining since Shackleton was not a writer and was very precise and technical about their locations (longitude this, latitude that). It did have amazing photographs in it, though. so sad and ironic that the name of the ship was Endurance, yet it got crushed by the ice.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756286970119189807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897710562041393560.post-56834348238204397212013-04-04T15:26:56.929-06:002013-04-04T15:26:56.929-06:00I need to check out this Persephone book store!

I had the same reaction about it, I couldn't believe a book about wild rabbits could be so engaging. Fantastic read!<br /><br />I'm reading a book about several inspiring famous people and Shacketon is one of them. He really is an inspiring guy.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05832602177068743447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897710562041393560.post-76844113481416655672013-04-03T22:55:58.626-06:002013-04-03T22:55:58.626-06:00"Watership Down" is a favorite of the Bu..."Watership Down" is a favorite of the Busby's. They are actually kind of obsessed with it. Cole's been trying to get me to read it for years.
