  Bill Tilman was part of the Himalayan climbing partnership with Eric Shipton, and later developed a new name for himself as the idiosyncratic skipper of the Bristol pilot cutter Mischief . Fittingly, he was lost at sea in Antarctic waters in his 80th year. Using Tilman's own letters and diaries, this book traces the life of a driven and very private man.
