National Geographic Adventure magazine hailed this volume as the #1 greatest adventure book of all time. Published in 1922 by an expedition survivor, it recounts the riveting tale of Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated race to the South Pole. Apsley Cherry-Garrard, the youngest member of the party, offers sensitive characterizations of each of his companions. Their journal entries complement his narrative, providing vivid perspectives on the expedition's dangers and hardships as well as its inspiring examples of optimism, strength, and selflessness.
Hoping to prove a missing link between reptiles and birds, the author and his companions traveled through the dead of Antarctic winter to the remote breeding grounds of the Emperor Penguin. They crossed a frozen sea in utter darkness, dragging an 800-pound sledge through blizzards, howling winds, and average temperatures of 60 below zero. This "worst journey" was followed by the disastrous trek to the South Pole. Cherry-Garrard's compelling account constitutes a moving testament to Scott and to the other men of the expedition. This new edition of the adventure classic features several pages of vintage photographs.

Is it really leather?
Doesn’t seem to be genuine leather but rather PVC

Beautiful brown leather, great quality
Color: Coffee
Very nice quality, as described and great size. Not as heavy as my previous all leather purse. No zipper, has magnetic fastener inside and a flap with twist to lock closure. Adjustable strap. Beautiful color. Would definitely buy again in black as I’m fairly certain with proper care this purse will last for years.

Great medium sized purse
Color: Coffee, Color: Coffee
Such a beautiful purse for a reasonable price! I love everything about this purse. It’s the perfect medium size, it holds its shape without being too stiff. The hardware and straps are high quality. Comes with 2 straps (a crossbody and a shoulder strap) that are adjustable. Lots of room inside with a zipper pocket and a side pocket…I’m not even using the storage to its full potential but it can hold a good amount of items with being just a medium sized purse. I added a scarf from Amazon as a fun detail. Every other purse I’ve looked at is either too small or too big/expensive and this is just perfect.

Lacks flexibility.
Color: Coffee
The leather on this bag is very stiff, with no flexibility. Interior difficult to access due to the stiffness of the leather. The design is simple and attractive with nice finishes on the bag. Unfortunately, the leather is just too inflexible in my opinion.
