"An instant classic" ????? Goodreads ARC reviewer
Who was Admiral Benbow, and why does the sea still whisper his name?
Outside, a bitter sou'westerly lashes a lone country tavern. Inside, before a glowing hearth, a mysterious traveller begins his yarn -- a story of sea, salt, and pitiless destiny. For on this night, the legend of Admiral Benbow is told once more: England's finest sailing chimp, driven by a doomed obsession to seek out the one adversary he cannot defeat.

Witty, lyrical, and steeped in old-world charm, The Tale of Admiral Benbow is a fireside ballad of courage, adventure, and the eternal pull of the sea.

Richly illustrated and perfect for fans of Treasure Island, The Wind in the Willows, or the heartfelt stories of Charlie Mackesy, The Tale of Admiral Benbow is set to become a children's classic.

For all great chimps and noble deeds
With time will die or fade,
'Tis but through us who tell their tale
The hands of time are stayed.
