Fascinating tale of the man who popularised the niche pastime of cave exploration. This is one "hobby" I'm quite content to let others partake in, I'll just wait to see the results on TV programmes - this book is a revelation!

As someone who has been brought up on fables and fairy tales, this book is a complete and utter delight to me, the opportunity to read such stories from other cultures and civilisations. A beautiful book all round.

I found this an interesting read, and I do wonder how the Western Front will be viewed and or visited in another 100 years time. It is a useful reminder about how different people can all have different points of view. Immediately after the war, people wanted to get their lives, farms and villages back to normal so many reminders of the war were removed. Now there is a desire among many to want to understand/see how it was. In the book and among the appendices there are some very useful tips and advice for anyone wanting to visit the area today.

An excellent read considering what a dry subject this could be, and one I shall return to.
