London, Constable, 1922

'The best written and most enduring account of exploits in the Antarctic.' - Taurus. 'It was perhaps the only real stroke of luck in Scott's ill-fated [Terra Nova] expedition that Cherry-Garrard, the one survivor of the winter journey, happened to be able to describe it so effectively that the reader forgets how comfortable he is in his arm-chair, and remembers the tale with a shiver as if he had been through it himself.' - George Bernard Shaw.

First edition. 2 volumes, 8vo, lxiv, 1-300, [4] appendix, viii, 301-585 pp., 6 coloured plates, 10 folding panoramas, 5 maps, 3 folding, original linen-backed blue boards, bit worn, paper labels, chipped; complete with spare labels, a very good set.
