THE GOAT WHO SAILED THE
WORLD - JACKIE FRENCH
One of a trio of books
my friend Liz loaned me to read after she read it with her grandkids.
Having spent 22 years living in Australia, I am well acquainted with
the history pertaining to Captain Cook and Joseph Banks - and have in
fact visited Botany Bay in real life, due to formerly living quite
close to the region. The book details the fictional but possible
storyline as seen from that of a ship-goat and young boy who grew
into his chosen life of a sailor.
Although directed
primarily at young readers, there was one word I had to look up. I
found it interesting to observe the story from the goat's point of
view - as I myself have written from pigeons' points of view in the
past.
