You ask in BIG Magazine what are my favourite books? I love anything by Jeffrey Archer and have just finished ‘Paths of Glory’, a fictional? biography of George Mallory based on letters written to his wife Ruth. After reading it the reader is left with the question, “Who was the  first man to conquer Mount Everest, Edmund Hillary in 1953 or George Mallory in 1924?” I believe in the latter (if the information about the photo is correct). Regardless it is a riveting story about a courageous man and his party of climbers.
