Some of the saltiest & most satisfying picture books created during the last generation."
- Maurice Sendak author of Where the Wild Things Are " Tim has the sort of adventures that every child needs unshakably rooted in the real world but unhampered by interference from anxious adults. His stirring but comforting maritime experiences are those a child might dream of
- full of storms shipwrecks & fascinating knots. He deals doggedly with dangers never stints on chores below deck & always gets home after the voyage."
- 1001 Children's Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up " This is pure escapism & it is refreshing to find a book of such quality surviving & succeeding through generations of readers but still being published today amongst the buzz & fizz of novelty books." www.writeaway.org.uk " The combination of exciting action vivid characters & fabulously detailed illustrations still make the Little Tim series enthralling."
