Good. "When I flew out of New York City in 1951 for Karachi, Kabul, and Delhi, I planned to write a book about the famous mountains that stretch across northern India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. The Himalayas, the Karakorams, and the Hindu Kush--all geologically one--had long fascinated me. The British expeditions to Everest, the American assault on K2 had excited me. I had read all the Himalayan literature on those and on other alpine expeditions in this region. Frank Smythe's book, THE VALLEY OF FLOWERS, finally decided me. I would explore the Himalayas on foot."; B0006AT5B4 Price: 10.00 USD
