About this ebook
This is the first fulllength collection of short stories by travel writer and master of mountain literature Jim Perrin. Mystery, romanticism and tragedy abound in these four fictional tales, beginning with the title story, which reimagines the fated Franklin Expedition to the Arctic in 1845 as an ecofable for our times. “He deserves to be recognised as the most singular, and the most outstanding, prose writer of presentday Wales.”
– M Wynn Thomas, New Welsh Review
