CONCERNING THE GINGERBREADIANS AND KING BOWWOWRIUS. 1 HE wood which Frank had entered was very thick--so overgrown with underwood that for a long way he had to crawl on his hands and knees, in order to get forward. But he did not mind that so much, as he felt it would be an effectual means of hiding his retreat from his four-footed foes. So he was more amused than alarmed when, as he was sitting down to rest at the foot of a tree where there was a little open space and a comfortable disposition of roots that formed a sort of natural armchair, he heard a distant howling, grunting, and bellowing, which proved that his late captors had waked up and discovered his evasion. He listened attentively to see if the sounds came any nearer; but they, on the contrary, seemed to die away in the opposite direction, and he felt, therefore, half inclined to believe that the good-natured Zecamelobra had done him further service by sending his pursuers off on the wrong track. He hoped it was the case, for he had had a lurking suspicion that when the fierce carnivora awoke to find that their prey had escaped them, they might take their revenge on his graminivorous benefactor for having sung them off to sleep by his very monotonous lullaby. Feeling secure from pursuit, Frank rose and proceeded leisurely on his travels. The sense of. danger having disappeared, it was succeeded by another feeling not much more agreeable. Frank began to discover that he was fearfully hungry. He looked up at the trees in hopes of seeing some eatable fruit. Alas! he had, without noticing it, wandered into a part of the wood that consisted entirely of those toy-trees, with shaving foliage, smooth stems, and little round green stands, with which he was well...
Book Synopsis Matthew Henson by : Kathleen Olmstead
Download or read book Matthew Henson written by Kathleen Olmstead and published by Sterling Publishing Company, Inc.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American explorer Matthew Henson had been traveling with Robert E. Peary and his team in the arctic by dog sled for weeks. The temperature was almost sixty degrees below zero. After years of trying to reach the North Pole, would their quest end because of frigid conditions? And who would receive acclaim for being the first person to accomplish such a difficult goal? Henson was born not long after the Civil War, when life in the United States, especially for African Americans, was changing quickly. As a young man, he toured the world while working on a boat, where he experienced freedom and kindness from the captain, but faced racism from crew members as well as other people on shore. After leaving seafaring behind, Henson was to meet Lieutenant Robert E. Peary, a man who would alter the course of his life forever. He would accompany Peary on dangerous, exciting expeditions to Nicaragua, Northern Greenland, and finally the perilous North Pole. Book jacket.

Book Synopsis The Oddest Place on Earth by : Christopher Pala
Download or read book The Oddest Place on Earth written by Christopher Pala and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Christopher Pala first landed at the North Pole, he fell so much in love with it that he took his girlfriend to ride the polar treadmill on what he mischievously called the First Expedition to Nowhere. For a week, the couple skied every day to the pole, pitched their tent and drifted away from it as they slept.Between his five trips to the pole, Pala used his journalistic skills to peel away the layers of myth surrounding its discovery and capture the untold story of the first men who indisputably stood there.Pala is the first to chronicle the transformation of one of the most remote places on earth into a new Mecca for adventure travelers. Flying in every April on Russian jets, he joined risk-lovers to parachute over it, balloon across it, attain it on skis and scuba-dive under it.But as he discovers, man’s presence at the pole is still ephemeral and there is plenty of opportunity to enjoy the escape from ordinary constraints of time and space provided by this breathtakingly gorgeous place that is not a place.Excerpts of the book have appeared in Condé Nast Traveler, Blue Adventure, Polar Record and other publications.

Download or read book Locked in Ice written by Peter Lourie and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spellbinding biography of Fridtjof Nansen, the pioneer of polar exploration, with a spotlight on his harrowing three-year journey to the top of the world. An explorer who many adventurers argue ranks alongside polar celebrity Ernest Shackleton, Fridtjof Nansen contributed tremendous amounts of new information to our knowledge about the Polar Arctic. At a time when the North Pole was still undiscovered territory, he attempted the journey in a way that most experts thought was mad: Nansen purposefully locked his ship in ice for two years in order to float northward along the currents. Richly illustrated with historic photographs, this riveting account of Nansen's Arctic expedition celebrates the legacy of an extraordinary adventurer who pushed the boundaries of human exploration to further science into the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis Ninety Degrees North by : Fergus Fleming
Download or read book Ninety Degrees North written by Fergus Fleming and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 699 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Barrow’s Boys offers a fascinating look at the exploration of the Arctic in the nineteenth century. Named a Best Book of the Year by the New York Times Book Review, the Seattle Times, Publishers Weekly, and Time In the nineteenth century, theories about the North Pole ran rampant. Was it an open sea? Was it a portal to new worlds within the globe? Or was it just a wilderness of ice? When Sir John Franklin disappeared in the Arctic in 1845, explorers decided it was time to find out. In scintillating detail, Ninety Degrees North tells of the vying governments (including the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and Austria-Hungary) and fantastic eccentrics (from Swedish balloonists to Italian aristocrats) who, despite their heroic failures, often achieved massive celebrity as they battled shipwreck, starvation, and sickness to reach the top of the world. Drawing on unpublished archives and long-forgotten journals, Fergus Fleming recounts this riveting saga of humankind’s search for the ultimate goal with consummate craftsmanship and wit. “Barely a page goes by without the loss of a crew member or a body part . . . Fleming [is] a marvelous teller of tales—and a superb thumbnail biographer.” —The Observer “A fable of men driven to extremes by the lust for knowledge as epic as a Greek myth.” —Time
Book Synopsis Exploring the North Pole: The Story of Robert Edwin Peary and Matthew Henson by : Josepha Sherman
Download or read book Exploring the North Pole: The Story of Robert Edwin Peary and Matthew Henson written by Josepha Sherman and published by Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2006-03 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arctic, the far, frozen north, can be a very dangerous place for people to visit. The Arctic is almost always bitter cold, with temperatures that can go far below –50ºF and be in total darkness for four months out of a year. Terrible storms sweep across the ice and snow, and great crevasses, perilous openings in the ice, can swallow the unlucky traveler. By the early 1900s, many expeditions had tried to reach the farthest point north, the North Pole, but all of them had failed. Many explorers had died. Tales spread that no one could reach the North Pole. They warned that the land was cursed. But in the early twentieth century, two men decided to brave the Arctic again. They were Americans Robert Peary and Matthew Henson. And they were determined to do what no one had ever done. They were going to reach the North Pole.
