Young Creggan grows up on the Isle of Skye among storms, Highland mists and tales of the clearances, with his faithful dog Oscar. Joining the navy, he serves on the gunboat Rattler and takes part in the British expedition against Benin, before more adventures in a wild mountain land and a return to Skye with a family mystery to resolve.
A rousing boys’ adventure whose view of Africa and empire is very much that of the 1890s. Download the free EPUB.
