Description
This beautifully illustrated book tells the incredible story of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, the first people ever to set foot on the top of Everest. On May 29th 1953, two men witnessed the breathtaking sight of the world's highest mountain for the first time. Their names were Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, and the roof of the world was Everest.
Their remarkable journey to the summit was not without its challenges. Frost-biting temperatures, tumbling ice rocks, powerful winds and death-defying ridges all stood in their way. Yet, these two unlikely heroes battled on, driven by determination and a shared goal. This book combines fresh and contemporary illustrations with Alexandra Stewart's captivating writing to bring their story to life.
A foreword by Sir Ranulph Fiennes adds a unique perspective to this narrative, which tells the story of how Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made their mark on the world from birth right up to their final days and the impact they've had on Nepal today.
