| 520 | 0 | |a In the city of Kathmandu in the Kingdom of Nepal are dozens of American and British expatriates who are in love with the Himalayas. George Fergusson is one of them-he works as a trek guide for "Take You Higher, Ltd.", leading groups of tourists into the back country and occasionally assisting on serious climbs. George "Freds" Fredericks is another-a tall, easy-going American who converted to Buddhism while in college, visited Nepal one year and never went home. Their adventures begin when George and Freds each learn of the capture of Yeti-an abominable snowman-by a scientific expedition. The thought of such a wild and mysterious creature in captivity-in prison-is too much for them to bear. In freeing the Yeti, a great partnership is born. George and Freds go on to greater heights as they explore the Great Mysteries of Nepal, from Kathmandu's governmental bureaucracy to fabled Shangri-La. | |
