ABOUT
Many adolescent boys dream of running away to sea, but Peter Taylor is one of the few who actually did it.
With some fast-talking and fictitious references, sixteen-year-old Peter found a position crewing on a British tramp steamer from sleepy Wellington to post-war England, via Australia, and apartheid-riven South Africa. So began a series of journeys around the world, interspersed with time in ports throughout Africa, the Caribbean, South America and Europe.
Illustrated with monochrome images.

New with light shelf wear on covers.
