Summary
In the last days of the Heroic Age of Exploration, Ernest Shackleton dreamed of crossing the frozen heart of Antarctica, a place of ferocious seas, uncharted mountains and bone-chilling cold. But when his ship, the Endurance became trapped in the deadly grip of the ice, Shackleton’s dreams were shattered. Stranded in a cold, white world, and thousands of miles from home, the men of the expedition set out on a desperate trek across the ice in search of rescue.

Critics Review
An updated edition of the award-winning classic non-fiction book for 7+, now with additional content and a foreword from the explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
Mr. Grill’s manner of illustration lends itself beautifully to the juxtaposition of early-20th-century human ingenuity and the raw, indifferent power of nature. * Wall Street Journal *
A book every house should have. * The Guardian *
This is a book that will appeal to adult art lovers, picture book fans and history buffs (of which, I fall into all three categories), children and adult alike. The book’s large format gives ample space for detailed colored pencil illustrations and the perfect pacing for such a fascinating journey. * The Eric Carle Museum *
This 10th anniversary edition of Grill’s Kate Greenaway Medal-winning biography will have new bonus material and a foreword from Sir Ranulph Fiennes. – Charlotte Eyre * The Bookseller Children’s Previews September *
