"Things happen here in Plymouth in the winter.
And of such things you'd surely never learn.
So take your seat and listen while I tell you
Of Bruno and his ship,The Arctic Tern..."
'The Voyage of The Arctic Tern' is a classic tale of treason and treasure that sweeps across many centuries and different
lands, from Scandinavia to Spain to the south-west of England.At its heart is the ship's skipper,Bruno,cursed to a life of eternal wandering for a moment of greed and betrayal.His quest for release brings him to the court of the King of Spain and a battle with an ancient adversary, the villainous pirate Mad Dog Morgan. Can Bruno and his crew set right the wrongs of the past and present?
Will good triumph over evil? How can The Arctic Tern's captain ever find the redemption he seeks?
Vividly narrated in stirring verse that demands to be read aloud, this is an extraordinary and epic adventure story that will appeal across the ages,to children and to adults - to all who love a thrilling story, memorably told.
