Mrs. Chippy's Last Expedition: The Remarkable Journal of Shackleton's Polar-Bound Cat | Caroline Alexander

2 posts | 2 read | 4 to read

The carpenter has a very fine cat who is known as "Mrs. Chippie"... -- from the diary of Commander F. A. Worsley, captain of Shackleton's Endurance When Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance became trapped in the Antarctic ice, all twenty-nine members of the crew were pushed to their limits of survival, including Mrs. Chippy, the ship's estimable cat. Fortunately for posterity, Mrs. Chippy left a diary of the ordeal. Closely based on the true events of Shackleton's heroic journey, and illustrated with authentic photographs taken by Frank Hurley, expedition photographer, Mrs. Chippy's Last Expedition is a firsthand account of one of the greatest adventures in history--from a unique point of view.

Mrs. Chippy's Last Expedition: The Remarkable Journal of Shackleton's Polar-Bound Cat | Caroline Alexander

Today‘s find! I‘m intrigued 😄😹

“Now, I can‘t vouch for the authenticity of this newly found document, but I can say that Alexander has done a fine job … allowing the cat‘s (and her own) sense of humor to have full run.” - New York Times Book Review

LeahBergen Ohh, I loved this one but it kind of broke my heart. 😆 1y

mabell @LeahBergen Oh my, I‘m glad you said that! In that case, I don‘t think it‘s for me 😅 1y

LeahBergen It‘s not horribly gut wrenching or anything (no animal abuse, etc) but (*spoiler alert*) that one word in the title kind of gives it away. 😆 1y

mabell @LeahBergen Yes, I noticed that! I didn‘t until after you mentioned it, then I reread the title and thought “oh I missed that keyword” 😬😆 1y
