The Remarkable Journal of Shackleton's Polar-bound cat

cover:
In the annals of expeditionary history, Sir Ernest Shackleton's South - his account of the legendary Endurance expedition - stands out as a classic. Until now, however, another stirring record of this ill-fated 1914-15 journey to the Antartctic has remained confined to the attention of specialists and scholars. It is the remarkable journal of the ship's cat, Mrs Chippy, who accompanied the carpenter Harry 'Chippy' McNeish from their home in Cathcart, Scotland.

'Mrs Chippy's Last Expedition 1914-1915 offers a rather unique perspective on this much written about expedition... A unique and beautifully presented book particularly for all cat lovers and Shackleton admirers' Geographical
