Stories Of Alpine Adventure
Frank Mundell
Read by Steve C
Mont Blanc is the Monarch of the Mountains: They crown'd him long ago
On a throne of rocks, in a robe of clouds, With a diadem of snow. (Byron)
In the following pages will be found a number of incidents of Alpine Adventure, its delights, difficulties, and dangers. As in other volumes of this series, no attempt has been made at historical or consecutive narrative - the object being simply to present a series of pictures of some of the most remarkable scenes which have taken place in the "Playground of Europe". (Preface by Frank Mundell)
