Adventure books that I've loved are Kontiki on a Raft; Island of the Blue Dolphins; Huck Finn; Treasure Island; Straight On Till Morning; Any book on Shackleton, but Endurance is a great one; Into the Wild; and Into Thin Air (just to name a few that stand the test of time. Dog and horse stories by the dozens I haven't even mentioned, but Jack London wrote some great ones.<BR/>I think I'll look for this Haliburton book.

I had the equivalent of Richard Halliburton in my life too, and I never pass up a chance to buy the books that stir those feelings of wonder and adventure.Lornahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976144449873569523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8561104.post-30721273342793516912008-06-20T12:05:00.000-05:002008-06-20T12:05:00.000-05:00I remember the Saggy Baggy elephant!

Get a hold of 'Seven League Boots'.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10446337419977796973noreply@blogger.com
