About the book

While a compass might tell us which direction we are going, there is really only one direction to which it ever points: north. North is the ultimate point of orientation, but it is also a celebrated destination for the adventurous, the curious, the solitary, and the foolhardy. In this fascinating book--updated in this accessible, pocket edition--Peter Davidson explores the concept of -north- through its many manifestations in painting, legend, and literature.
