Description
The Lost Book of Adventure is a restored reproduction of a set of tattered sketchbooks discovered in the Amazon, filled with the extraordinary adventures and survival methods of the Unknown Adventurer.
'Packed FULL of adventures which are all taken from the notebooks of an unknown adventurer.’
'Skilful drawings show deserts, rapids, canals, forests, mountains, jungles, islands, oceans and the equipment for surviving in them, with tips on how to construct shelters or rafts, or improvise an oar. The breathtaking landscapes offer a sense of the grandeur of the natural world. And would-be explorers might enjoy the anecdotes about being dragged by the leg by a hyena, or eating maggots from a pig’s carcass.’
'For anyone who cares about getting themselves and their children out in the wild, read this and understand what it means to live with your senses alive. This has the power to kindle the fire of adventure in a whole generation.'
‘A clarion call to the child explorer [...] a spectacular immersion in the life of the wild.'
'This is the loveliest, and most useful, adventure book I have seen in a long time.'
‘Exquisitely illustrated [...] Children will treasure it for years to come.'
'It's an extremely detailed and in-depth book that you can lose hours in, with magnificent illustrations highlighting the exotic Amazon and the beauty and importance of the natural world. A treasure of a book for any enthusiastic adventurer and lover of the great outdoors.’
'Packed with exciting stories, it contains everything you need to know about surviving in the wild!'
'... a treasure trove of knowledge for kids who love outdoor escapades.'
'... exquisite artwork practically forcing the reader into the wild.’
‘Where do I even start with this beauty of a book? I honestly don’t think I can do The Lost Book of Adventure justice; it is simply fantastic.’
