(Paperback, New edition)

It's 1938, the British have thrown everything they've got at Everest but they've still not reached the summit. War in Europe seems inevitable; the Empire is shrinking. Still reeling from failure in 1936, the British are granted one more permit by the Tibetans. Mount Everest 1938 by H.W. Tilman is the account of this pioneering expedition.

(Paperback, New edition)

During 1949 and 1950 H.W. Tilman mounted pioneering expeditions to Nepal's Himalaya. He explored the Ganesh Himal, before moving on to the Jugal Himal and then an ambitious trip to Annapurna and Everest. Nepal Himalaya presents Tilman's sketches, encounters with yetis, trouble with porters and food, and his obsessive relationship with alcohol.
