Synopses & Reviews
It was a stormy day aboard the S.S. Royal Fusilier when Tim found a stowaway hidden in a lifeboat--a tiny puppy. His only problem was Captain Piper, who loved cats--especially his own--but simply hated dogs.
First published between 1936 and 1977, Edward Ardizzone's classic Little Tim books have been loved by generations of children for their spirited adventures and totally matter-of-fact tellings by a storyteller who spoke straight to children's imaginations. As Maurice Sendak has said, "The opening lines of the very first story were a droll Ishmaellike call to adventure that gave great promise of wonderful things to come."
We are proud to bring Little Tim to a new generation of readers.
Synopsis
Tim and Ginger, cabin boys on the "S.S. Royal Fusilier", adopt a stray puppy and decide to hide him aboard ship out of sight of the captain who hates dogs. Full-color and B&W illustrations.
