Résumé
In the fall of 1669, the Nonsuch returns to London with a load of fur from Hudson Bay, and the lost journal from Henry Hudson's tragic search for a passage to Cathay in 1611. For Robert Bylot, a once-great maritime… explorer, the book is a painful reminder of a past he'd rather forget. As Bylot relives his memories of a plague-ridden city, the mysterious alchemist John Dee, and mutiny in the frozen wastes of Hudson Bay, an age-old mystery is both revealed and solved. Grades 5-8. Some descriptions of violence. 2007.
