Sir Edmund Hillary Book by Pat Booth

Sir Edmund Hillary The Life of a Legend hardback book by Pat Booth.

A nice kiwiana coffee table book with lots of great photographs throughout. Edmund Hillary The Life of a Legend is a celebration of 40 years of Sir Edmund Hillary's life since the ascent of Everest. It is a thoughtful reappraisal of a life spent pushing human ability to its limits and relishing the challenges thrown down by the elements, also of a man devoted to helping the people of Nepal. A story also of a man the world has taken to its heart."

"When the 20th century lists its achievers, the name of Sir Edmund Hillary will be among them, ranked with the greatest adventurers of this and many other centuries. Through his unfailing support and nurturing of the Sherpa population, building schools and hospitals repaying not only his own debt but also those of other humans to other communities, he set an example of caring to the world.
