Captain Pugwash author John Ryan dies


pugwash-in-the-pacificJohn Ryan, the creator of the fantastic Captain Pugwash children’s books, has died at the age of 88. Very sad news – I loved Pugwash as a child. Sadly, Ryan’s work has been tainted by one of the most powerful of urban myths in the UK. There was never a Master Bates or a Seaman Staines and the cabin boy was named Tom, and not Roger.
