Synopsis

A standalone story from the WINNER of the Holyer an Gof best children's book

When a small black-and-white dog, Pip, finds a Spanish galleon that has been driven aground by wreckers on a remote Cornish coast, the ripples of this event reach far away London, and a Europe savaged by the Wolf of France, Napoleon Bonaparte himself.

Pip and her friend, the smuggler Harry Carter, travel across England with important information for the hero of the hour, Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson. But will they be in time as the storm clouds gather, bringing war to the seas of Europe?

At times funny and at times desperately sad, the story uses historical sources to bring this tale of derring-do vividly to life. It is a sequel to Pip of Pengersick – A Smuggler’s Tale.
