A timeless Christmas tale of courage, wonder, & the eternal call of the sea.
Outside, a storm lashes a lone country pub. Inside, before a yuletide fire, a mysterious traveller begins his yarn—a tale of sea, salt and pitiless destiny. For on this Christmas eve, the legend of Admiral Benbow is told once more: England’s finest sailing chimp, driven by a doomed obsession to seek out the one adversary he can never defeat.
Witty, lyrical, and steeped in old-world charm, The Tale of Admiral Benbow is a beautifully illustrated ballad for fans of Treasure Island, The Wind in the Willows, or The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse.
An evocative, fireside story to suit readers aged 10-100.
