The famous ship, The Flying Dutchman, was lost off the coast of South America - and its crew were condemned to an eternity of misery in its ghastly wreck. Ben and his dog Den escaped - and wandered the world, never ageing, moving on only when the ship's bell tolled and a new mission beckoned. But now the evil Captain Vanderdecken wants them back . . .The action-packed, adventure-filled follow-up to CASTAWAYS OF THE FLYING DUTCHMAN.

Brian Jacques is a powerful storyteller, known best as the creator of the top-selling REDWALL series. He was brought up near the Liverpool docks. His life to date has been adventure packed - he's been a sailor, truck driver, longshoreman, comedian, folksinger and radio host. He continues to travel widely but still has his home in Liverpool.
In this sequel to CASTAWAYS OF THE FLYING DUTCHMAN, we find the eternally young Ben and his faithful dog, Ned, cavorting with pirates in the Caribbean and taking on a tribe in the Pyrenees that is well-versed in the black arts. Brian Jacques and his cast do an exceptional job bringing this tale to life. The characterizations are well complemented by Jacques's winsome brogue. The other characters are performed with great expression and energy, as well. There is also music for transitions between chapters and sides, as well as a good number of songs that are quite delightful.

Paperback. Condition: Good. How do you say I love you without saying I love you? For one big family, it's woven into the fabric of every day in this tender, resonant picture book. My sister Nalu braids my hair every week. It's how she says I love you. Tendo always races his sister to the finish line as they leave the house. Kira the dog greets her at the door with a wagging tail and a spin. Sometimes it's Auntie Linda pulling her into her wheelchair for a hug, or Uncle Alex bringing his funny parrot for a visit. One jajja teaches her granddaughter how to make the chicken dish she learned as a child; another tells stories from far away, before she was born. Whether it's Mom asking if she's hungry a hundred times a day, or older siblings scaring away the monster that keeps her awake, the refrain I love you comes through loud and clear--and reminds us that there are countless ways to express affection to those that we hold dear.
