Author(s): Edward Ardizzone

Children & Young Adult

80th anniversary edition of the first title in the much-loved Little Tim series, beautifully produced in the same size as one of the first editions, with original hand-lettering. A young boy wants to be a sailor, but his parents say he is much too young. Tim grabs the chance to stow away on a steamer, but little does he expect the hard work, stormy sea and sinking ship to come! Little Tim's adventures at sea have delighted generations of children ever since the first book was published in 1936. Edward Ardizzone, who illustrated over 170 books in his lifetime, received the prestigious Kate Greenaway medal for Tim All Alone in 1956.
