First UK edition. The book containes a pasted erratum on the contents page from the publisher concerning the text on page 212. Age tanning to pages and some foxing to top edges of pages, not affecting page faces. One of the great heroic episodes in 19th century exploration was the dramatic balloon voyage of S A Andree and his two compansions towards the North Pole. The discovery of Andree’s camp thirty years after marks an event in polar exploration as poignant and as surprising as the final days of Captain Scott. Anna’s Book is a work of fiction based on previously unpublished documents, but beyond a fresh interpretation of a historical mystery it is also a compelling novel of action and introduces the unforgettable character of Anna Charlier, an enigmatic, startling, beautiful woman who cannot help but view this enterprise with bitterness.
