Edition originale
First edition, first impression, of this uncommon account of the first successful ascent of Mount Everest. Morris was the only journalist to accompany the 1953 British Expedition. Working for Times, who sponsored the ascent, Morris (1926-2020) was given the role of official correspondent and, despite never having climbed a mountain before, climbed to Camp 4, a height of 26,000 feet. Morris received the news of Hillary and Tenzing's achievement in the early afternoon of 30 May and had to scramble down an ice field at dusk to get news to a runner at Base Camp, who then relayed the message to London via the British Embassy in Kathmandu. Morris used an elaborate system of prearranged codes to prevent the story being leaked before the Queen's Coronation. The news of the achievement is generally regarded as one of the finest scoops in journalistic history. After chronicling the historic ascent of Mount Everest, Morris found global fame first as a journalist, and later as a celebrated essayist and trans pioneer. Octavo. Original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Half-tone photographic portrait frontispiece of the author, 7 similar plates from photographs, 3 maps. Lightly rubbed, small chip to paper on front pastedown, also with label sometime removed, internally fresh and clean; jacket flap with "colour plate" text redacted as usual, retaining price of 16s with added price of "9s" visible in blind manuscript, minor tears to extremities, light soiling: a very good copy in like jacket.

It was Morris who broke the news of the successful ascent on the eve of the Queen Elizabeth's Coronation. Morris later became a highly acclaimed travel writer. This book perfectly encapsulates his wit and creative writing style. This particular copy is signed Edmund Hillary the leader of the expedition. Both the English and American editions were published in the same year. Neate M147.
