Little Tim and the Brave Sea Captain

A daring boy sails the high seas and learns the power of self-reliance in this classic children’s book for kids ages 4-8 who love adventure, boats, and pirates!

Little Tim lives by the sea and wants to be a sailor. He spends his days on the beach, mucking about in boats, learning knots and other crucial things about the sea and ships. Tim is too impatient to wait until he is grown up to become a sailor so he resolves to run away to sea.

The first in Edward Ardizzone’s acclaimed Little Tim series, Little Tim and the Brave Sea Captain is a rollicking tale of a stowaway, a storm, and a high sea adventure, now back in print for the first time in years. With its cozy illustrations and lessons in self-reliance, this is the perfect book for any little adventurer.Edward Ardizzone (1900-1979) was born in French Indochina (now Vietnam) and moved to England when he was five years old. In addition to his illustrations for works by Eleanor Farjeon, Dylan Thomas, and Robert Louis Stevenson, Ardizzone wrote and illustrated his own books, including the celebrated Little Tim series, which was inspired in part by his dreams of escape from boarding school.
