Description

Spoiled Harvey Cheyne Jr. washes overboard from a liner and is rescued by fishermen off the Grand Banks, then learns work and humility under Captain Troop. Kipling’s sea novel of a rich boy remade by the catch. Spoken as when the schooner becomes the school that money never taught, and salt does the rest.

Author

Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was one of the supreme storytellers in English — a Nobel laureate whose Jungle Books, Kim, and Just So Stories made childhood myth out of British India and the wider imperial world. He wrote with an unmatched ear for speech, rhythm, and craft: animals that argue like people, boys who learn the roads, ballads that stick in the mind.
