Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Barnacles, Vol. 1
Benjamin from of old was a hostage, and fate still looked sourly on the name. It belonged to him who had walked into the mist. He had a complexion studded with fiery little knobs, and from the days of his first trousers was nicknamed Barnacles. He was now very tall, loose-knitted, had a gawky air, and went with a stoop. But his eyes behind the spectacles which he wore were as blue as the spaces in a red sunset sky. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
