Westward Ho! or, the Voyages and Adventures of Sir Amyas Leigh, Knight, of Burrough

From the coral reefs of the Barbados to the great sea battle with the Spanish Armada, this vibrant novel captures the daring spirit of Elizabethan adventurers who sailed with Sir Francis Drake. Charles Kingsley wrote not only novels of action and romance, but stories for children (Water Babies) as well. His work still pulses with life and vitality.
