With an introduction by Lord Mouser-Hunt, this is the journal of Mrs Chippy, the cat who accompanied the carpenter Harry "Chippy" McNeish on Ernest Shackleton's 1914 Endurance expedition to the Antarctic.
This enchanting presentation of the ship's atmosphere while trapped in the ice offers an entirely unique perspective on one of the great heroic expeditions of the 20th century.
