No-one who wasnt as mad as a hatter would try to take a horse across the Andes by one of the highest passes between Chile and the Argentine. That was what John Ure was told on his way to the British Embassy in Santiagoso he set out to find a few certifiable kindred spirits. The journey they made was an amateur adventure, not a solemn expedition. As problems arose they were met with cheerfully improvised solutions that were not always fool proof at heights of up to 12,000 feet. Ex library book with associated paraphernalia. Photographic dust jacket within acetate sleeve. Library sticker to base of spine. Superficial scuffs, marks and discoloration. Brown cloth textured paper covered boards with gilt text to spine. Photographic endpapers. Remains of library labels on half title. Foxing to edges of text block and sporadically within. Lightly but evenly tanned.
