Packed quite a lot into her 94 years.

I would recommend Coronation Everest if you like books about adventure.

Hopefully the BBC will repeat the full Palin programme soon. Some examples of Morris’ TV work at that link though, and a brief biog.

Michael Palin did a great interview about her on PM (R4) this evening. A very full life.
