From the publisher: "The autobiography of extraordinary Australian mountaineer Michael Groom. Even among the many achievement-against-all-setbacks books on the market Michael Groom's story stands out. In 1987 he lost a third of both his feet to frostbite while climbing one of the world's highest mountains. He was told to forget about an active outdoor life but by 1990 he had not only taught himself to walk again he was back climbing the Himalayas. To increase the challenge Michael climbs without supplementary oxygen an extraordinary thing to do in the thin oxygen-deprived air at the top of the world. In 1999 Michael climbed Makalu in the Himalayas. Makalu is the fifth highest mountain in the world and it's generally considered to be a harder climb than Everest which is why so few people have done it. Michael is now one of the very few people in the world to have climbed all six of the six highest mountains. The book features two actually 3 stunning 8-page colour photo sections and has an introduction by respected mountaineer Lincoln Hall. Its appeal will reach far beyond those already interested in mountaineering -- it is ideal for anyone with a taste for gripping biography struggle-against-the-odds stories inspirational books or travel in Nepal.".

23096Printed heading Sir Adolphe Abrahams 97 Harley Street W/1. 14 Nov. 1959. Two pages obl.12mo good condition small neat hand. Text: Your recent sympathetic reference to Leslie Stuart encourages me once more to be reminiscent - nostalgically. I claim to know all he wrote - a bold assertion this considering his output. I wonder how many know that an early song perhaps his first and quite different from all others was the comic 'The dandy-coloured coon' quotes the name sequence from the song Sweetheart May - was an early one in my opinion Vesta Tilley sang this. Then Little Dolly Daydream Soldiers of the Queen - perhaps about 1895. By this time he was well established. I have been told that he wrote this as a skit underlined on Jingoism not a patriotic song which I find difficult to believe. What happened to him I presume a financial debacle ." He speculates on possible reasons "the loss of standardisation"; "failure to realise probable revolutionary changes in public taste". "And at the end I suppose he was glad to pick up a few pounds playing his songs on the piano. I know he perpetually inveighed against 'pirated music' but that could hardly have made all the difference financially". He concludes by making critical remarks about modern "cacophony and jumping about like lunatics". Note: "Leslie Stuart born Thomas Augustine Barrett was an English composer of Edwardian musical comedy best known for the hit show Florodora and many popular songs. He began in Manchester as a church organist for 14 years and taught music while beginning to compose church music and secular songs in the late 1870s." Google.
