Book Reviews of The Arctic Grail: The Quest for the Northwest Passage and The North Pole, 1818-1909
Book Review: A Lucky Find
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband was cleaning out one of our closets last week and came across this book. I can't remember buying it, but I'm so glad I did...it's my new 'desert island book'. To be read, re-read and savored every time. The subject is fascinating and the way the author weaves together the explorers journeys, various other personalities and the history of the day makes it seem like you were (almost) there with them. Not only is it a terrific read, but it has a fabulous bibliography that will make a great jumping off point for further reading.
