Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Margaret Fleming (1901-1999) wrote of her lifetime of mountain adventure. A Canadian mountaineer, traveller, field naturalist, and teacher whose life spanned the 20th century of alpine culture, she had an astute fascination with mountains. She was the first woman editor of the celebrated Canadian Alpine Journal, but her own stories remained unpublished. She sought beauty, serenity, and the art of idling. She did not conquer mountains - she dwelt with them, touching nature, friendship, and alpine time.
