The Life and Achievements of Captain James Cook Adventures and Discoveries of Three voyages

Description

45pp., hardbound with full-colour DJ,
with numerous coloured illustrations,
published by W. C. Penfold & Co. Pty. Ltd., Sydney.
The story told in this book has a far wider sweep than Cook’s Australian east-coast adventure.
It encompasses the whole of Cook’s voyages, More than that, it outlines the entire career of
the great mariner. It is, indeed, a summary of the life-story of one of the most romantic and
significant figures in the history of exploration by sea, and as such it will doubtless be warmly
welcomed in a period of bi-centenary. Especially, one imagines, will this book appeal to youth.
