Nauticalia

Written as if Mrs Chippy herself had done so, this is the story of the cat that went to Antarctica with Ernest Shackleton and Endurance. From the optimistic start of the expedition, through the ship's entrapment in ice and gradual sinking, to the team's camp on the ice, the "cat's eye view" provides both insight and delight. Photographs by the expedition's official recorder, Frank Hurley. 170 pages, softback.
