A High Wind in Jamaica

Hughes, Richard

The author's first novel. A wonderful hybrid of children, pirates, hurricanes, the tropics and a hard look at what children are capable when placed in a particular set of circumstances. First published in America as The Innocent Voyage, this title later that year in England, and the second American edition followed suit; signed by the author on the half-title.
