Delia reviewed First Man by Laura Watkinson
Also reimagining Peary
5 stars
A beautifully put together book, educational and shocking. I’d be interested to know what residents of Epah think of it/the imagery used to depict sacred things in their culture. I appreciated the warning of bits that were fictionalised; but grateful for the factual time line at the end. I hope kids learning about polar expeditions these days learn who really got to the North Pole first.
