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 - 1915 journey to the Antarctic has remained confined to the attention of specialists and scholars. It is the remarkable journal of the ship's cat, Mrs "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. It is a unique and beautifully presented book particularly for all cat lovers and Shackleton admirers.
