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 identifying ships. One day he seizes the chance to stow away on a steamer, but little does he know what high-sea adventures will ensue!

Edward Ardizzone's Little Tim and the Brave Sea Captain is a classic tale of a stowaway and a storm that has enthralled generations of children and is now back in print for the first time in years.
