Lore and Legend of the Yeti
by Kesar Lall
Fact or fiction? Do these hairy ape-like creatures really
live as recluses high in the Nepal Himalaya? So convinced was
he of this fact that Prince Peter of Greece once said: "To
my mind there can be no doubt that the so-called Abominable Snowman
really exists." But opinions vary vastly.
Renowned Nepali author and researcher, Kesar Lall, explores and
examines this fascinating mystery in an enjoyable and easy-to-read
account. Read on and discover as one old Sherpa concluded: "There
is a Yeti in the back of everyone's mind."

My Quest for the Yeti: Confronting the Himalaya's Deepest
Mystery
by Reinhold Messner
Universally acknowledged as the worlds' greatest mountain climber,
Reinhold Messner has seen things that few humans ever have. On
a solo climb in 1986 he saw something that was even more frightening
than ascending Everest without oxygen: a creature that defied
reason and category, a creature that has become legend, a creature
that some have called the Yeti.
My Quest for the Yeti takes us on an incomparable journey
through Nepal, India and Tibet. On the way, Messner cuts through
to the heart of the Yeti myth, separating fact from fiction.
Often alone and on foot, he explores forests, ravines and precipices,
searching for testimonies and evidence for the Yeti's existence.
Full of characters and unusual stories, his trek is an exciting
as it is illuminating.
