Child of the Sea: A Memoir of a Sailing Childhood

Child of the Sea is a vivid evocation of the sailing life, and should be read by anyone who would like to understand how it feels to spend years sailing the oceans on a 36 foot yacht. The book can be read as a simple story, in the clear language of a child, and nothing more. Or it can be read as a comment on what ingredients make for a perfect childhood, in these days when much ink is spilled on meditating that very question.
