About this Item

First edition. 8vo. Original pale blue cloth. Dust-jacket, priced 6s. The tragic true story of Edgar Christian, who, along with his cousin John Hornby and another companion, starved to death in the Barren Lands of the Canadian Arctic during an ill-fated expedition in the late 1920s. This edition had sections removed, possibly due to perceived implications of homosexuality, with a fuller version published in 1980 as Death in the Barren Ground. Light ink stamp to front pastedown; cloth very good; jacket a bit browned at spine, minor rubbing and marking, overall very good.
