The Book of Castaways (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781617201998)

Six stories of survival -- men and women set upon by stormy seas, starvation, thirst, beasts, ghosts and their own inner demons. Based on real historical accounts the narratives are filled with the eerie poetry of island life, the exultant triumph of survival against all odds. From Florida's Bigfoot called the Skunk Ape to "the man who would not go bottom" -- a superhero who could not drown but was vulnerable on land, these stories of castaways will appeal to readers of all ages.
