“Hurrah!… shouted George, “At last it is you. I’ve been looking so hard for the Yeti.…
The monster looked down with a horrible howl …
“Are you bonkers? My name is Netty!…
Join George, a young and courageous explorer with all the pluck of a little Indiana Jones, on a quest to track down the elusive Yeti against all the odds.
