About this book

Aralia and her younger sister Pansy watch the North Sea from their cottage garden, waiting for their sailor uncle's ship. His arrival brings news of a northern expedition: Professor Peterkin believes he knows where an island holds gold and coal, and Captain Staysail agrees to take him there. Gordon Stables builds this children's adventure around a family whose excitement about ships and distant places soon meets the demands of survival.

Later, Tom, Frank and the girls shelter in a cave, storing their food high in the rocks to keep it safe from animals. As supplies diminish, Tom searches for something to eat and discovers a lake with a green island, flowers, fruit and birds. The story combines cheerful family conversation with cold weather, wild animals and practical problems.
