4 Yaks and a Yeti

High in the foothills of the Himalayas, a young Nepalese boy, Lhakpa, and his four loyal yaks – Yak, Nak, Zopchok and Zum – embark on a perilous journey to find the mythical castle, Shangri-La. On this daring adventure Lhakpa and his yaks battle the perils of the misty mountains – freezing snowstorms and danger prowling in the shadows. And watching from the snow-covered peaks above is their greatest challenge of all – the legendary Yeti . . .

Written by mountaineer Peter Hillary and illustrated by Ant, this fable of perseverance and the realisation that not everything in life is as it seems is a wonderful read for adventurers of all ages.
