(Pocket Cardinal/Scholastic Book Services, Aug. 16, 1967)
The thrilling account of the strange (but true), eventful, and tragic voyage of His Majesty's Ship Bounty in 1788-1789, which culminated in Fletcher Christian's mutiny against Captain Bligh. Authors Nordhoff and Hall, who served together as U.S. Air Service pilots in World War I, had a highly successful literary partnership that lasted nearly 30 years and produced several worldwide bestsellers. This one is arguably called "the greatest sea story of all time."
