H. W. Tilman, Mount Everest 1938 (Pilgrims Publishing), ISBN 81-7769-175-9 (contains the infamous Appendix B on the Yeti)
It is a parody of the non-fictional chronicles of mountaineering expeditions (notably H. W. Tilman's account of the ascent of Nanda Devi and Maurice Herzog's book Annapurna chronicling the first ascent of Annapurna in Nepal) that were popular during the 1950s, as many of the world's highest peaks were climbed for the first time.
