Anchors Aweigh! Tales of the Sea

           Set your sails for adventure with this In Review. It gives the story-behind-the-story of the much-traveled and enormously creative author/illustrator team Ingri and Edgar d’Aulaire. Smooth-talking pirate, Long John Silver, comes back on deck in the review of Leonard Wibberly's book, Flint’s Island, sequel to Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. The chronological book list—cataloguing more than 200 titles—covers ocean and sea-going books; stories set on rivers, lakes, or canals; and tales of shore and island life. Some of these titles are further expounded upon in the 19 pages of The Stacks section, which also describes many other books, all helpfully arranged by age interest from young readers to older youth.

One of the back issues from 1995 of the In Review: Living Books Past and Present journals.
