I am so delighted by this book. Do you recall when you first learned of Robert Peary's accomplishments in the Arctic? I do!! I was a child and awed by the story and stupefied by his courage and that of the men who accompanied him. What I did not know was that his wife also accompanied him on some of his Arctic trips. I would have enjoyed reading this book as a child and so wish I had known of this book, written by Josephine, when I was teaching my Arctic exploration units to 3rd graders. How did I miss this? I highly recommend reading this if you were enamored by Arctic exploration as a child, but somehow missed out on this book as a child. It is charming!

J'ai lu ce récit à l'occasion d'un cours sur les women travel writers et je ne m'attendais pas à ce genre de récit.

Je pense que ça va le rendre très intéressant à analyser parce qu'il casse les codes du récit de voyage traditionnel (même si son racisme est quand même d'un niveau à toute épreuve...)
