The Wreck of the Zanzibar

Morpurgo, Michael

Notes


It is 1907 and life on the Scilly Isles is bleak and difficult. The winter storms give way to a wretched summer and family after family moves to the mainland. Laura's father is driven to admit defeat, when a violent strom brings an unexpected harvest to the island, a special return which in an extraordinary way seems to be Laura's reward for keeping faith with the sea and its creatures.
