Author: Miles Clark
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 480
This is the dual biography of a couple whose lives embraced a range of adventure on land, sea and mountain, in peace and in war. The author portrays them as the most accomplished travelling and adventuring couple of the 20th century. Miles Smeeton has written nine books including "Once is Enough", "Because the Horn Was There", and "The Sea Was Our Village", which earned him the reputation of adventurer, sailor, conservationist and storyteller. As a young army officer in 1934, he fell in love with the Commanding Officer's wife - Beryl Boxer - during a 6000-mile overland journey from India to England. At that stage she had already travelled alone across four continents on foot and horseback. After the war, they mountaineered and sailed, cruising the oceans under sail, before settling in the Rockies in 1969 to spend their last 20 years breeding endangered Canadian wild animals.
