When Marinka, Podgy Plum and Timid Thomas set sail with the Little Captain on board his brave ship the Neversink, a world of adventures awaits. Their incredible journey will take them across stormy seas and scorching sand dunes, through palaces and sailors' inns, past giants, dragons and polar bears. Along the way there will be danger and excitement, ghost ships and buried treasure, pancakes galore, and at the end of it all: friendship. Packed with thrills, laughter and magic, this beautifully illustrated classic seafaring tale has enchanted generations of children.

At the end of his thousand-year reign of the Copper Mountains, old King Mansolain is tired and his heart is slowing down. When his attendant, the Hare, consults The Wonder Doctor, he is told he must keep the King engaged in life by telling him a story every night until the Doctor can find a cure. The search is on for a nightly story more wonderful than the last, and one by one the kingdom's inhabitants arrive with theirs; the ferocious Wolf, the lovesick Donkey, the fire-breathing three-headed Dragon. Last to arrive is the Dwarf, with four ancient books and a prophecy that the King will live for another thousand years - but only if the Wonder Doctor returns in time.

'A triumphant piece of magic' Observer

'The best book of all time for this age' The Times

After reigning for a thousand years, old King Mansolain is growing weary and his heart is slowing down. Only stories can keep it ticking while his doctor searches for the cure. So, from every corner of the kingdom, creatures journey to the castle in the copper mountains to sit on the King's long white bear and share their tales.

Every night, a new storyteller arrives: a fearsome wolf, a lonely rabbit, a fire-breathing, three-headed dragon and many more. Each tale is more wondrous than the last, but will they be enough to keep the King's heart beating?

Part of the new Pushkin Children's Classics series of thrilling, magical and inspiring stories from around the world, which young readers will return to time and again.

Illustrated by Sally J. Collins.
