Publisher's Synopsis
Adventures in Southern Seas: Large print by George Forbes These adventures of one Dirk Hartog--a Dutch navigator of the 16th century--are founded on the narratives of the early explorers in the South seas, from records in the library of Sidney, N.S.W. Strange and thrilling experiences are recounted--though with little distinction in the telling--which will appeal to men and boys. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
