About this title

Synopsis

An original tale where music and enchantment, pirates and trickery, friendship and the loyalty of a very special dolphin create a timeless story of adventure.

Inspired by his famous song "Jolly Mon Sing," beloved songwriter and storyteller Jimmy Buffett wrote The Jolly Mon with his then-eight-year-old daughter, Savannah Jane. Combining oceanic folklore with their own experiences sailing from island to island throughout the Caribbean, the father and daughter duo weave a story of magic, music, and adventure.

Artwork from Lambert Davis, an illustrator of a number of critically acclaimed picture books, brings the story to life with vivid color. “Bright ebullient paintings easily capture the sunshine and sea breezes of the warm climate; the Jolly Mon’s smile is winsome; and children familiar with the Buffett song on which the story is based will enjoy meeting him all the more.” —ALA Booklist

About the Author

Singer/songwriter/author Jimmy Buffett became a legend of popular culture as the composer of such classic songs as "Margaritaville" and "Cheeseburger in Paradise." He recorded more than thirty albums, most of which have gone gold, platinum, or multiplatinum, and his sold-out concert tours were an annual rite of summer for his fans. In addition to his musical credits, Buffett is also one of only six authors who have had number-one New York Times bestsellers in both fiction (Where Is Joe Merchant?) and nonfiction (A Pirate Looks at Fifty).
