Japan to open up the Far East for a British engineering firm. A novel entitled Bride to the Mountain (pub. Harrap 1940, reprinted C. Chivers Dec. 1965, then again by Portway Reprints under ) was written shortly after the success of I Bought A Mountain and draws heavily on the same experiences. It also appears to be largely based on an actual 1927 case when a strong but insane climber called Giveen caused the deaths of two others. He returned to Snowdonia in 1993, and lived at Elen's Castle Hotel in Dolwyddelan for some time and wrote further articles on conservation. He died in December 2000 in Llanrwst, Conwy, North Wales References See also Obituary Canadian memoirists 1910 births 2000 deaths Coldstream Guards officers British Parachute Regiment officers People educated at Stowe School Recipients of the Military Cross 20th-century memoirists Canadian military personnel from Quebec Canadian emigrants to the United Kingdom
