A chance encounter between a miniature Spanish Galleon in full sail and an old Chinese fisherman whose Junk had been blown far off course due to a tropical storm sets the stage. The replica was passed on to his son as a going away keepsake.

Produktbeschreibung
A chance encounter between a miniature Spanish Galleon in full sail and an old Chinese fisherman whose Junk had been blown far off course due to a tropical storm sets the stage. The replica was passed on to his son as a going away keepsake. To escape the shackle of poverty, he'd embarked on a rusted freighter along with hundreds of others, as part of a work-gang to build the western link of the Canadian railroad. After the last spike was driven in, the son settled in Vancouver and built a laundry on the shore of False Creek where one had stood before. For shortly after his arrival the city was in flame. He brought a mail-order bride from China, and they became the proud parents of quadruplets. Becoming of age, the boys got involved in an adventure which includes an uncharted island, treasure, villains and Witches. After accidentally breaking open the little ship, a parchment was discovered inside its hull. It showed the whereabouts of an island where treasure had been buried. However, the island turned out to be the summer vacationing spot for the daughters of the Witches that dwell at the cardinal points; but it was also the burial ground for every Witch that had ever lived. The island is surrounded by Hoodoo mountains which gives on to a valley. The place is spooky and foreboding, and when they arrived a whole series of events took place to scare them off. It incorporates historical mysticism, whimsical fantasies of our lore and stirring action which carries on into caves and phosphorus chambers where objects of mythology come to light. While there are personages of epic history that come into play which helps supplant evil. It is a youthful escape for the young at heart. Enjoy, Jean-Luc Roy
