Publisher's Synopsis
The Flying Dutchman! The legend of the wind-tattered ghost ship and its mad sea captain, cursed to sail the seas forever, has been passed down throughout the centuries. But what of the boy and his dog who are trapped on board that ship? Thus begins one of the mightiest of Brian Jacques' stories, as boy and dog set off on a great journey, braving icy winds and waves to arrive on strange shores, and explore new places and times. Chapelvale is their first destination, a sleepy Victorian village, replete with a bully and a mystery to solve.
