My great-aunt gave me a copy of the newly released "Peter Freuchen's Book of the Seven Seas" when I was in high school. I was sure it was still in one of my bookcases, but I can't spot it this morning.
I did find Richard Halliburton's "Complete Book of Marvels" which I have had for the same almost 60 years.
Freuchen's book always sort of intimidated me, but Halliburton's was endlessly entertaining, though some said he was a shameless embellisher.
I wonder if they knew each other.
