By a large margin our bestseller this month has been William Battersby's biography of James Fitzjames, a senior member of Franklin's expedition to find the Northwest Passage. You can see it here (if we have any left in stock when you read this!).
I'm pretty sure that the recent upsurge in interest is due to the BBC screening the drama 'The Terror' this month. But it's not a great surprise either: the Franklin Expedition has an on-going fascination, and books on it and the many expeditions that set out in its wake always sell well.
So I thought I would use this post to point to our other books on the Arctic, which can be found in our History of Exploration section (which currently has over 90 titles) alongside books on the rest of the world.
There should be something there for everyone, so happy browsing!
