![]() ![]() Many years ago, I read Captain Slocum’s Sailing Alone around the World and found it fascinating reading. ![]() In fact, it kind of reminds me of the “How and Why Wonder Book” series of illustrated books that were popular with young people back in the 60’s and 70’s (see: …) I still have my How and Why Wonder Book of WWII, in fact. The target audience for this book would be the general reader, perhaps even young adults. There are plenty of colour and B&W illustrations throughout the book, printed on good high quality paper. Casey manages to condense a full lifetime of Captain Slocum’s adventures and trials into these few pages. It is only a little over 120 pages, but Mr. The look and feel of this book is very polished. This book is part of the “Stories of Our Past” series published by Nimbus. ![]()
