Inhaltsangabe

A daring boy sails the high seas and learns the power of self-reliance in this classic children’s book for kids ages 4-8 who love adventure, boats, and pirates!

Little Tim lives by the sea and wants to be a sailor. He spends his days on the beach, mucking about in boats, learning knots, and identifying ships. One day he seizes the chance to stow away on a steamer, but little does he know what high-sea adventures will ensue!

Edward Ardizzone's Little Tim and the Brave Sea Captain is a classic tale of a stowaway and a storm that has enthralled generations of children and is now back in print for the first time in years.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Edward Ardizzone (1900-1979) was born in French Indochina (now Vietnam) and moved to Ipswich, England, when he was five years old. It was in Ipswich, he later wrote, that he "learnt to know and love the little coastal steamers that I have drawn so often in the Tim books." Ardizzone illustrated more than 170 books, and his outstanding work in the field of children's book illustration was recognized when he won the Kate Greenaway Medal in 1956. In addition to his illustrations for works by Eleanor Farjeon (including Jim at the Corner, published by NYRB Kids), Dylan Thomas, and Robert Louis Stevenson, Ardizzone wrote and illustrated his own books, including the celebrated Little Tim series, which was inspired in part by his dreams of escape from boarding school.
