Captains Courageous
Vendor: Cape Ann Museum Store
By Rudyard Kipling; Introduction by Marilyn Sides; Afterword by Jane Yolen
Harvey Cheyne, the pampered fifteen-year-old son of an American millionaire, is sailing to Europe when he falls overboard. Saved from drowning by a New England fishing schooner, he finds his rough new companions unimpressed by his wealth and shocked by his ignorance. He will have to prove his worth in the only way the captain and crew will accept: through the slow and arduous mastery of skills upon which their common survival depends.
