The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
In the far-away days of Henry VIII there lived a little girl called Tamsyn. She was like any other girl except that she had one unusual passion: she loved ships. This is the story of how she leaves her Devon home by the sea and goes to live with a family of lively cousins in London. At first the strangeness of her new life amidst the hustle and bustle of Tudor London and her longing to be amongst ships make her homesick, but after a while she gradually settles down, and discovers that her cousin, Piers, shares her love for the sea. But it is not until the year is almost out, and Christmas comes round again, that the most wonderful thing of all takes place.
'Most children . . . will rush on to the end, and close the book with a long sigh of contentment which is the greatest tribute an author can recieve.' —Eleanor Graham in The Junior Bookshelf
