Bøker av Kari Herbert

Take an inspiring journey around the world and discover the stories of some remarkable women explorers.

Fascinating and hugely enjoyable' -Sir Ranulph Fiennes. 'Heart of the Hero' gives a compelling insight into the lives of some of the world's most famous explorers, through the eyes of the women who inspired them to achieve great things. Author Kari Herbert explores the unpredictable, often heartbreaking stories of seven remarkable women who were indispensable companions, intrepid travellers and sometimes even the driving force behind our best-loved polar heroes, including Scott and Shackleton. Drawing on her own unique experience as the daughter of a pioneering polar explorer, and using extracts from previously unpublished historic journals and letters, Herbert blends deeply personal accounts of longing, betrayal and hope with tales of peril and adventure.

The stories of fifteen female artists illustrated with reproductions of each artist's work and portraits of the artist by Kari Herbert. Comparable to "Goodnight Stories For Rebel Girls".
