About this book
Willie remembers his boyhood at Braycombe, where lessons with his mother give way to games with his dog Frisk and visits to an old sailor. The steep Zig-zag path leads down past woods and rocks toward the bay and the lodge of George Groves. A trusted friend of the family, George helps Willie learn about boats and turns the coastal landscape into a place for play and discovery.
The story brings together cousins, holidays and friendship, with Christian life among its themes. George presents Aleck with a carefully made schooner-yacht, inviting him to sail it alongside Willie's model boat, the Fair Alice. Aleck's eager inspection of the sails and flags contrasts with Willie's quiet response. Readers can enjoy the details of model sailing and seaside childhood while following a children's novel attentive to kindness, companionship and the feelings that arise between young friends.
