Sublime

There are so many illustrated children’s books that I like, making it hard to choose only one. One that I had so much fun reading with children was Takara-sagashi (Treasure-Hunting, Rieko Nakagawa, illustrated by Yuriko Ōmura; Fukuinkan Shoten, 1964).

Late in the month Mugs Stump crossed paths with Waterman on the upper Ruth Glacier. Stump, an alpinist of world renown who died on Denali in 1992, had just completed a difficult new route on a nearby peak, the Mooses Tooth.
