This famous picture-story book that delighted children when it was originally published in 1935, and set the standard of the subsequent "Tim" books, remains one of the most endearing of them all. In 1955, when Edward Ardizzone completely redrew and redesigned the first edition of this classic, the New York Herald Tribune wrote: "It is a perfect picture book to read to any small boy, with Tim making himself useful to all on board, facing bravely the great storm, and coming home in the life boat. The bright colors are well presented. Tim starts gayly on a new long lease of life, ready for many homes and libraries that do not know the first book."
