About this book

About this Cryptids mythology guide

Footprints crossing a glacier far above the limit of any known animal. The complete story of the Yeti, the abominable snowman of the Himalayas.

High on the roof of the world, where the air thins and the snow never melts, climbers have come back with photographs of footprints that should not be there: huge, man-shaped tracks crossing glaciers far above the limit of any known animal. The Sherpas were not surprised. They had always known the mountain held something.

This is the complete story of the Yeti. The traditions of the Himalayan peoples and the wild man of the high valleys; the early European expeditions and the tracks they photographed; the 1951 Shipton photograph that made the world pay attention; the scalps and relics kept in remote monasteries; the famous mountaineers who reported encounters; the scientific expeditions sent to settle the question; and the bears, langurs and optical tricks that may lie behind the legend.

The book follows the Yeti through the expedition records, the photographs and the folklore of the Himalayas. Every case cites its sources.

Delivered as a print-quality PDF within 24 hours of purchase.
