Description

Arthur Ransome's account of his maiden voyage in 1922 is a fascinating tale of adventure and exploration. Racundra's First Cruise follows the journey from Riga, Latvia to Helsinki, Finland, via the Moon Sound and Tallinn, Estonia, and back again. This book was first published in 2003, featuring the original text with its layout, maps, and photographs, as well as an introduction by Brian Hammett. The edition includes previously unpublished writings, essays, and photographs, offering a unique insight into Ransome's experiences and the life of his beloved boat, Racundra. A new paperback edition has been released, retaining all the original features that made this book so special. With its enhanced illustrations and present-day photographs of the same locations, Racundra's First Cruise brings back to life Ransome's epic first cruise in his treasured Racundra.
