Product Description
Daily Telegraph, June 5, 2004
This fine nautical romp deftly marries historical fact to a gripping narrative.
Book Description
Robert Fitzroy was the most brilliant and scientific sea captain of his age. He used the Beagle, a survey vessel, as a laboratory for the new field of natural sciences. But his plan to bring four 'savages' home to England to civilise them as Christian gentlefolk backfired when scandal loomed over their sexual misbehaviour at the Walthamstow Infant school. FitzRoy needed to get them out of England fast, and thus was born the second, and most famous voyage of the Beagle.
