Proving that exploration and great writing can go hand in hand, this anthology—illustrated with three dozen photos—collects true accounts of adventure by Teddy Roosevelt, Marco Polo, Sven Hedin, and Robert E. Perry, who recounts what it is like to hunt musk-oxen near the North Pole. Paying tribute to fictional travels, these 12 selections include Arthur Conan Doyle's tale "How the Brigadier General Slew the Fox," along with excerpts from Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days.
