Overview: Eight-year-old Derry listens as an old sailor tells him stories of his adventures at sea.
Retired sailor Jim passes his days on a street corner, where he tells a curious boy named Derry about his life at sea on a ship called The Rockinghorse. Filled with tales of talking sea serpents and stew-eating chimpanzees, Eleanor Farjeon’s Jim at the Corner belongs on the shelf with Robert Louis Stevenson’s A Child’s Garden of Verses and Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories. Edward Ardizzone’s masterful pen-and-ink illustrations of maritime creatures bring these old-fashioned adventure tales to life for young readers.
