Item description from seller

First edition, first impression. Jacket sadly quite tatty.

Not price clipped (16s), pencill address on ffep, internally quite clean and tight, overall a reasonable copy for its age. 224pp, illustrated. The exciting first hand account of Sir Edmund Hillary's (1919-2008), and Tenzing Norgay's conquest of Everest. Hillary achieved many more adventuring firsts before establishing the Himalayan Trust, an organization devoted to improving the lives of people living in the Himalayas.
