Tom Blount sits on a high stool in his uncle’s solicitor’s office in Gray’s Inn, dreaming of the black pond on Elleston Common instead of his law books. A visit to his other uncle, a scientist with a broken speculum, and his cousin Sam sets him on a course of misunderstandings and then real adventure on the ocean.
A long, good-humoured Victorian boys’ adventure from one of the most prolific writers of the genre. Download the free EPUB.
