About this book
Raised beside the Norfolk Broads, Harry develops a taste for solitary boating long before he takes possession of Jethou in the Channel Islands. Ernest R. Suffling tells his adventure in the first person, combining the appeal of a Crusoe experiment with the ordinary work of island living. Fishing, farming, boat building and ingenious homemade equipment give the narrative its practical texture, while the surrounding waters bring storms, wrecks and opportunities to explore nearby shores.
The account also makes room for stranger experiences. Harry describes an apparent visit from his father and a warning voice that interrupts a dangerous walk near a cliff. His dog shares these island episodes, linking moments of companionship with the uncertainty of living alone. Readers interested in small boats, coastal landscapes and resourceful daily life will find concrete details alongside adventure. The blend of workshop problems, sea excursions and unexplained incidents gives this island story its particular character.
