Description

The countless of joys of boating -- from the first experiences of sailing, to coping with raging storms on the high seas -- are captured in this collection of classic & contemporary stories & poems. Famous literary sailors like Long John Silver & the Ancient Mariner pace the decks, while Tom Sawyer & his mates vow that there is no better life than that of a pirate. Robinson Crusoe struggles through giant seas to make his way to safety, & the Swiss Family Robinson construct a raft to flee their sinking ship. Doctor Dolittle sets off on a voyage with his amazing menagerie at the helm, & Ratty introduces Mole to the pleasures of boating. Beautifully illustrated by imaginative artists, this book captures the triumphs & tribulations of sailors, old & young.
