Title: Once Upon a Whaling Ship
Review: My first thought was that this was to be a woman's book. Was I wrong! Of course, I never dreamed that Una, a young woman in the 19th Century, would prove to be an adventuress who finds answers to her curiosities by living them out. For this reason, I would highly recommend this book to able readers who are young as well as old(er). The book is written extremely well, combining dialogue and description of another Century in a believable and fascinating style. Una's adventures describe solitary and simple living,the courage of whale boat crews, and the frightening experience of childbirth in the wilderness. If that isn't enough excitement, there are a few other events to keep you interested. Enjoy!
