"Tim... continues to have outsized adventures at sea. These now result from situations heart-rending indeed for he has returned from a voyage to find a sign on his old home, "Gone away. House to Let." Tim cries a little, remembers to say his prayers, then sets out valiantly to find his parents—narrowly avoiding being taken into a home for lost children. Children will love his new exploits, with the family's final reunion, as they have loved every adventure of little Tim. The pictures have typical Ardizzone dash and detail and have made the book the first winner of England's Kate Greenaway picture-book medal." —Horn Book
