WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY BILL BRYSON An outrageously funny spoof about the ascent
of a 40,000-and-a-half-foot peak, The Ascent of Rum Doodle has been a cult favo
urite since its publication in 1956. Led by the reliably under-insightful Binder
, a team of seven British men including Dr Prone (constantly ill); Jungle the ro
ute finder (constantly lost), Constant the diplomat (constantly arguing) and 3,0
00 Yogistani porters, set out to conquer the highest peak in the Himalayas. http
