Description
There’s no programme on television you feel like watching. You’ve already been to this week’s film at the cinema. The football match has been postponed because of fog.
What do you do?
You can find thrills and action any time you want them in these pages. The True Life Library contains true stories of real people doing all the things you’ve dreamed of. When you read about these men and women you can share their adventures without ever leaving your seat.
Smash speed records with Stirling Moss and Donald Campbell. Share the thrilling danger of heart-stopping narrow escapes. Climb the world’s highest mountain with Sir Edmund Hillary and Tensing. Know what it feels like to be lost in the tropical jungle or on the trackless ice of the Arctic.
Parachute into enemy territory with daring wartime secret agents like Odette Churchill. Join the Indians of the American West in their fight to defend their land. Meet Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickock and Jesse James.
