The no-holds-barred, eagerly awaited autobiography of one of
Britain's most popular icons - known to millions from her many film
and TV appearances, including Dynasty and The Brothers. Kate O'Mara
writes here: "Don't put your daughter on the stage, Mrs
Worthington! advised Noel Coward is his famous song. Stories of
people going on incredible journeys constantly amaze and astound.
Some journeys are meant to be adventures from the start; some begin
inauspiciously and finish with a bang; some are groundbreaking and
some show extraordinary triumphs in the face of adversity. Some
travellers survive their journey and some do not. What makes these
people risk their lives? Why do they put themselves in such danger?
Divided into six chapters - Air and Space, Ice and Snow, Wind and
Water, Great Escapers, Imperialists and Adventurers, Survivors -
this book takes 60 extraordinary journeys from the past 100 years
and recounts what happened to these intrepid travellers. Think of
Amy Johnson, the first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia;
Robert Swan, the first man to walk to both the North and South
Poles; Jim Shekhdar, who rowed across the Pacific from Peru to
Australia; Neil Armstrong, Ellen MacArthur, Ernest Shackleton,
Mallory and Irvine, Charles Lindbergh, Yuri Gagarin, Amelia
Earhart, Hiram Bingham, Joe Simpson, Hillary and Norgay, Nautilus,
Apollo 13 and Ranulph Fiennes. Incredible Journeys celebrates the
remarkable achievements made by these extraordinary adventurers.
With insightful text from Thomas Cussans, and fantastic images from
the breathtaking summits to the perilous high seas, this book will
truly inspire.
