THRILL to incredible-but-true tales of survival such as ‘I Fell 20,000 Feet’ or ‘A Fight with a Leopard’
CRINGE at the insanity of ‘Over Niagara Falls in a Rubber Ball’ and ‘The Bird Man’s Final Gamble’
MARVEL at ‘Buried Alive by a Dead Elephant’ and be moved and astonished by the epic misadventure of Maurice Wilson’s 1934 solo assault on Everest – probably the most amazing true story ever told.
