?Of Caves and Caving, a way and a life? by John E Gillett (2002)
A rather splendid journal of the life and times of a caver written for the enjoyment of those who have been intrigued by the pursuit (but never pursued it) as well as those of us who have.
The underground adventure of the author starts in 1958 after being endowed with enthusiasm from the local library?s stock of science fiction literature. A keenness to explore a new world, a different world, fuelled the desire to begin (and then pursue) caving. The passion is quickly enflamed by the discoveries made leading to adventures both at home and across the seas. And your journey as the reader begins ....
This is a compelling and rich book filled with that ?I want to read more? itch that prevents you from putting it down. You follow the author through many twists and turns ? some familiar and some not. Clever and eloquent writing, Set off with illustrations (again by the author).
This is a fantastic read.
