Synopsis

Bored with his schoolwork, Tim longs to be at sea again, when who should appear but Captain McFee! Back on board ship, Tim befriends Ginger, the first ship's boy. Unfortunately, mischievous Ginger will need all of Tim's resourcefulness to get out of his next scrape, which involves some hair-restorer that worked all too well. Soon the two lads are on their way to new adventures on the salty main, including a might storm and a darting rescue. First published in 1949, this popular picture book showcases Edward Ardizzone's vibrant watercolors and exciting narrative.
