What on earth is that grumpy old sailor up to? Dragons and telescopes, red paint and sea charts… find out in this lively adventure with Magnus and his friends.

“All aboard / the boat became the world / and we were travellers / from far and famous lands. / Hearts in mouths / we followed him / down below.”

“The Grumpy Old Sailor”. Written by Janice Armstrong. Illustrated by Meilo So. Published by So & Co Books in 2010. Donated to the library by Sally Huband from Shetland in Scotland ❤️
