Más información sobre el libro

Little Tim lived by the sea and dreamed of being a sailor, but his parents insisted he was too young and needed to wait. When he found an opportunity to stow away on a steamer, he eagerly accepted, unaware of the hard work, stormy seas, and the danger of a sinking ship that awaited him. Originally published between 1936 and 1977, Edward Ardizzone's Little Tim books have captivated generations of children with their spirited adventures and straightforward storytelling that engages young imaginations. Maurice Sendak praised the series for its adventurous spirit, describing the opening lines of the first story as a whimsical call to adventure. We are excited to introduce Little Tim to a new generation of readers. Edward Ardizzone, born on October 16, 1900, was the eldest of five siblings. His family moved to Ipswich, England, in 1905, where he developed a fondness for coastal steamers, which frequently appear in the Tim stories. A celebrated illustrator of over 170 books, Ardizzone received the Kate Greenaway Medal in 1956 and was appointed CBE in 1971. The adventures of Tim remain beloved by readers of all ages worldwide. Ardizzone passed away in 1979.
