Allowing for the fact that this an adventure book for children, it is a rollicking (if usually far-fetched) tale, which holds the attention. ( ) This amusing story is in the nature of a romp. The turn of phrase is sometimes hilarious, unfortunately the adventures are so outlandish that they begin to pall after a while. This was a free Kindle book; it was worth the time I invested in it, and it yielded some enjoyable chuckles and outright laughs. I doubt I will reread it. no reviews | add a review

A rollicking sea adventure, set in the time of the Napoleonic Wars, this book follows the escapades of a young midshipman who enters the King's service with some ideas that run badly afoul of the standards of naval discipline! No library descriptions found. |
