began early

I used to smuggle roadkill into the house despite my mother's preference for flowers.

    A Glimpse of Eternal Snows

    I read this on my first trip to Nepal and finished it all too soon. As a lone female traveller I found Jane's courage both in Nepal and in writing this account hugely inspiring.

    Lemurs of the Lost World

    “this book fleshes out the ups and downs of the expedition… it is useful, lively background reading for anyone contemplating an expedition anywhere.”

    Himalayan Kidnap

    I may be older than the target audience, but I so enjoyed this adventure of two brothers trying to survive a disaster that they could not have seen coming. Their adventures through the Nepali landscapes and beautifully illustrated wildlife kept my attention, and I can't wait to read what happens next to Alex and James.
