Description

In this newest experience (subsequent Pigeon Article, winner of the Carnegie Medal), the Walker family has arrived at Harwich to hold back for Leader Walkeris return. As usual, the kids can not avoid ships, and this time around they fulfill young John Brading, skipper of the well-discovered sloop Goblin. But fun turns to high-drama once the point drags, and the four young sailors end up moving out to sea - capturing across to Holland in the middle of the complete gale! As in most of Ransome's books, the focus is on self reliance, courage, and ingenuity.
