"The Quest for Frank Wild tells the gripping story of Angie Butler's determination to unravel the truth of the final years of Frank Wild, one of the greatest British Edwardian Polar explorers of all time. He supposedly died in penury unable to come to terms with Ernest Shackleton's death and forgotten by his fellowmen in the small mining town of Klerksdorp near Johannesburg. The little that was known of his later life in South Africa has been maligned by hearsay and sensational journalism and most tragically of all, no-one knew where he was buried. An outstanding man lost in life and in death. he author's seven year journey finally uncovers an extraordinary untold story and by doing so not only fulfils Wild's wish to have his Memoirs published but ultimately makes an astonishing discovery. The Memoirs stand alone as a unique account of Edwardian Polar exploration"--http://www.questforfrankwild.com/

This is a second edition and updated. The Quest for Frank Wild including his original Memoirs tells the gripping story of one woman's determination to unravel the truth of the final years of Frank Wild, one of the greatest British Edwardian Polar explorers of all time. The Memoirs stand alone as a unique account of Edwardian Polar exploration.

A major new polar history book that includes the stirring and previously unpublished diaries of a remarkable explorer and the man who would prove to be Sir Ernest Shackleton's harshest critic. The depth of Butler and Riffenburgh’s research is a feat of its own and we are given a unique insight into an Edwardian whose recognition is long overdue.
