Produktbeschreibung
A bracing voyage into a seaside town where courage is born of storm and duty. A true classic of nautical courage and boys adventure novels, Darry The Life Saver turns daring rescues and steadfast teamwork into a readable beacon for today's young readers. In this restored edition, Frank V. Webster's tale survives not just as a reprint but as a cultural treasure. Set against turn of the century America, the adventures unfold with a distinctive coast guard spirit, where life saver rescues are more than feats of skill-they are tests of character. Across the pages, readers meet a cast of spirited boys whose resourcefulness and camaraderie echo the best of illustrated juvenile tales and vintage maritime novels for youth. The seaside town setting offers both peril and wonder, inviting casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike to witness nautical courage in action. This edition foregrounds the book's literary and historical significance, preserving a snapshot of early 20th¿century popular fiction and the enduring appeal of seaside adventure. It speaks to a young readers collection that values adventure without neglecting honour, duty, and friendship. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this volume is more than a reprint - it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, crafted for today's readers and future generations.
