Trade 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 *
