The Book: The Lost Fleet. Barry Clifford. 2002.
Found: Library Book Sale
One of my husband's top five all-time books is The Whydah - by Barry Clifford, purchased for him , by me, on a whim at a Park Avenue bookstore in NYC over 10 years ago. It was non-fiction, which he mostly prefers, it was about innovation, about discovery, and about insurmountable odds. Three, actually four including the non-fiction part, of his favorite things. How could I go wrong? Oh yeah and there were pirates. I was definietly on to something!
The Lost Fleet was Clifford's second true-life expedition story
and according to my expeditioner - not quite as bequiling as the first. But for the lack of enchantment with the storyline, this book had a nice little sub-plot in the inscription:
"Happy 42nd! We'll always have Paris*
Anne
* It's true - Mr. P. and Paris, France"
