Mountaineering Fiction ... in search of Elizabeth Coxhead

My favorite climbing novel is ONE GREEN BOTTLE written by Elizabeth Coxhead in 1951. This fantastic piece of literature works on both the climbing and artistic level. Cathy Canning - the main character - is complex, engaging, and deeply emblematic of all the hopes, dreams, and tribulations of the era. Having read and re-read this short novel several times in the anthology ONE STEP IN THE CLOUDS, I was happy to stumble upon this biographical sketch on the FOOTLESS CROW website.
