I have just purchased a hardback copy of SD (2006 Reprint) for my grandson. Compared with my own earlier copy, this has acquired a postscript.
This reads :-
We have often been asked which year we climbed Kanchenjunga. It was of course, 1930, the second year of the Alliance, the year after Uncle Jim's book was published, and thirty years after mother climbed the Matterhorn. But, by mistake, Mr. Ransome wrote 1931, which was the year he wrote it all down, and that got everything else wrong, So now you know. N.B.
Does anyone know when this postscript was added, please? It was not there in 1965 which was the latest previous copy I have seen.
