IN THE VALLEE BLANCHE.—The picture is from a new; beautifully-illustrated edition of Gaston Rebuffat’s “Starlight and Storm,” published by Kaye and Ward, London. The book is one of Gaston Rebuffat’s earliest and records his climbs as a young man on the six great north faces of the Alps. He became recognised as one of the foremost Alpine guides, and later famous as a Himalayan climber—he was a member of the French expedition to Annapurna, the highest mountain climbed at that time. The book is translated by Wilfred Noyce and Lord Hunt, whose knowledge of the man and his mountains gives this new edition the quality it deserves. Lord Hunt, better known in the mountaineering world as John Hunt, writes a foreword in which he describes Gaston Rebuffat as an intensely human person, who has discovered through the medium of mountains the true perspective of living.
