The Brassbounder

This early work is David William Bones 1921 novel, "The Brassbounder". It is the story of a young apprentice whose parents have paid for him to do three years work aboard a ship that is set to sail round Cape Horn. Based on the authors own life experiences, this gripping and authentic story is highly recommended for those with an interest in sailing, and constitutes a must-have for fans and collectors of Bones work. Many classic books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
