'Great British Adventurers' sets out succinct, but interesting, sketches of some lesser known great British adventurers drawn from the 19th and 20th centuries. Their feats cover a wide spectrum, from Sir Richard Burton's daring in making the Hajj pilgrimage to Sir Thomas Lipton's gentler adventures in seeking out sources of, and markets for, tea.
