Product Description

Book Description

Gathered from the pages of Wide World magazine, the longest-running true-adventure magazine of the twentieth century,True Adventures for Boys is filled with thrilling tales for all brave boys from 7 to 70 – a fresh-air manly world where the only thing to fear is fear itself, and where big boys don’t cry. THRILL to incredible-but-true tales of survival such as ‘I Fell 20,000 Feet’ or ‘A Fight with a Leopard’ CRINGE at the insanity of ‘Over Niagara Falls in a Rubber Ball’ and ‘The Bird Man’s Final Gamble’ MARVEL at ‘Buried Alive by a Dead Elephant’ and be moved and astonished by the epic misadventure of Maurice Wilson’s 1934 solo assault on Everest – probably the most amazing true story ever told. True Adventures for Boys — where Truth is more Dangerous than Fiction!

Bought this for my 13yr old, he says its OK, which is praise indeed, I read it and found it was well written, and best of all, it is actually in ENGLISH, not the txt language they seem to live on at home and school.
