CAMERON, IAN Mountains at the Bottom of the World: A Novel of Adventure
William Morrow & Co. 1972. Ex-Library. Hard Cover. Good/Good. EX-LIBRARY HARDCOVER. Dust jacket edge wear, light page toning, shelf wear, usual library markings. "The diary -- written in 1902 and found in 1972 -- belonged to David Miles, who was a young boy when he ran away from a tidy British home to engage in a bit of seal poaching. The lifeless monster that floated before him in the watersoff the coast of Chile remained a mystery to him until the end of his days. Only by chance did David's great-nephew, Peter, find the journal some seventy years later, and only by chance did Peter fully comprehend the implication of this entry. For Peter, a zoology sstudent, knew without hesitation that the creature described in the old man's diary could only be prehistoric man, the Paranthropus.".
