From the Newbery Medal Winning Author Of The Dark Frigate, The Mutineers is a tale of old days at Sea and of Adventures in the Far East. Strange events happened in our first month at sea?events so subtle as perhaps to seem an unimportant part of this narrative of a strange voyage, yet really as necessary to the foundation of the story as the single bricks and the single dabs of mortar at the base of a tall chimney are necessary to the completed structure. I later had cause to remember each trivial incident as if it had been written in letters of fire. Adventure on the High Seas.
