Review: I absolutely loved this book as a boy... The simple line drawings were just wonderful; they gave the feeling of wide open spaces and freedom. -- Tony Ross My childhood simply would not have been the same without this book. It created a whole world to explore, one that lasted long in the imagination after the final page had been read -- Markus Sedgwick All the thrills of Treasure Island and Robinson Crusoe Daily Telegraph The very stuff of play The Guardian Thrilling not only to young readers fond of the sea, but also to older readers who remember how they enjoyed sea stories when they themselves were young Scotsman
