Mill wrote the first comprehensive biography of Shackleton (The Life of Sir Ernest Shackleton, 1923) at the request of Lady Shackleton. He was librarian for the RGS and a great Antarctic historian. The inclusion of Lady Shackleton’s name as co-author in this edition was in error as she was not listed as an auhor on the UK edition. The tipped-in photos are quite unique. In Dutch.
