by Tanis Rideout. ABOVE ALL THINGS is the story of the historic expedition of mountaineer George Mallory, one of the last great British gentleman explorers who made his final attempt to climb Everest in These moving events occurred before the mountain had been defeated, with Mallory holding the record for reaching various altitudes before the advancement of specialized climbing gear that made the journey more humanly possible. Above All Things is detail-oriented, and Rideout does much to place readers in the time period and draw attention to the expedition’s primitive equipment. George woke with his feet numb from a small drift of snow that had gathered in the tent near them. A captivating blend of historical fact and imaginative fiction, Above All Things moves seamlessly back and forth between the epic story of Mallory's legendary final expedition and a heartbreaking account of a day in the life of Ruth Mallory.
