Authors

Book Description

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY BILL BRYSON

‘An amazing book… Laugh-out-loud literature’ Tim Key

‘Wonderful. Rum Doodle does for mountaineering what Three Men in a Boat did for Thames-going or Catch-22 did for the Second World War’ Sunday Times

Led by the reliably under-insightful Binder, a team of seven British men - including Dr. Prone (constantly ill), Jungle the route-finder (constantly lost), Constant the diplomat (constantly arguing), and 3,000 Yogistani porters - set out to conquer the highest peak in the Himalayas.

Though a ‘hilarious spoof and perfect parody’ (The Times), The Ascent of Rum Doodle has become one of the most celebrated cult classics of mountaineering.

‘I just love this book. Everything about it is nearly perfect... hugely enjoyable and brilliantly sustained’ Bill Bryson (from his introduction)
