Description

A mother tells her son about the sea journey they made in the 1860s, when the boy was a baby. She keeps telling him, 'but you were only a baby, you wouldn't remember' - but is this really true? Who saw a sailor fall overboard into the sea, and then being rescued, and who saw a whale from the cabin window when everyone else was sleeping? This is a beautifully illustrated, thrilling and humorous adventure that empowers children in a world so often dominated by adults.
