All About Sir Edmund Hillary - Lew Freedman - Bog

New Zealand adventurer, Edmund Hillary, spent his life exploring and climbing the tallest mountain ranges in the world. In 1953, Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa climbing partner, Tenzing Norgay, were the first climbers to reach the top of Mount Everest. The climbing of the Himalayan peak brought Edmund and Tenzing world fame and Hillary was knighted by the British crown to become Sir Edmund Hillary.
