Official synopsis Publisher
Captains Courageous ranks with all the great sea-adventure stories that will never lose their fascination for children as well as grownups. Kipling’s “heroic conception of life,” as Andr� Maurois called it, his admiration for bravery and courage wherever he might find it, never dimmed. In the tough Gloucester fishermen on the We’re Here, sailing to the Grand Banks for their catches of cod and halibut, he recognized elements of glory, and in the schooner’s skipper, Disko Troop, he portrays a kind of man he most admires. It is no wonder that soft, pampered young Harvey Cheyne rescued by the We’re Here after falling from an ocean liner in the Atlantic is regenerated by his contact with such a man. Although Harvey fiercely resents being forced to work on the fishing schooner at a paltry ten dollars a month he grows tough and hardy, and learns to obey orders. At season s end, he is reunited with a father who is astonished and delighted by the change in his son.This edition includes a glossary to familiarize readers with nautical and late 19th century terms.This large print edition is typeset in 18 point Tiresias LP font.
