Reviews for Peter's Torchon Lace

The name 'Cape Horn' has for centuries stricken fear into the hearts of sailors. Hundreds of ships have been wrecked off this treacherous point of South America, and in recent times many an attempted transglobal expedition has come to grief off the cape. Journalist and novelist Dallas Murphy here describes his own adventures when he came to round Cape Horn where the waves are higher and the storms more fierce than anywhere else on Earth. He shows that Cape Horn is not all about horror, however. A world of wonder exists above and below the surface - the flora and fauna so varied that naturalists are drawn here for the exotic treat of their lives. In a pacy narrative, Murphy recounts the facts, the myths and the legacy of Cape Horn, and he takes the reader along for a voyage filled with excitement. You can almost taste the salt spray!
