This book
reads like a novel,
is rich in history,
occasionally adventurous
and
spans three continents.
A riveting account that illustrates the
power of luck and the human desire to survive.
It is a story of hardship, hope and
success.
"The time has come,"
the Walrus said,
"To speak of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
