The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
A most welcome Elliott Bay return is made by Geoffrey Wolff, for whom Seattle was, in adolescence, home. A masterful writer in both non-fiction (read his autobiographical The Duke of Deception for an account of that Seattle adolescence) and fiction, he is here with a captivating biographical account, The Hard Way Around: The Passages of Joshua Slocum (Knopf). "Hugely entertaining and informative. In an era of teenage sailors routinely circumnavigating the world within a safety net of satellite phones, GPS navigation, emergency call beacons and corporate sponsorship, Wolff skillfully illuminates, celebrates, and further burnishes the eccentric life and legacy of Joshua Slocum—master of tall ships and The North Star of solo travelers." - Eric Hansen. "As one would expect from Geoffrey Wolff, The Hard Way Around is an engrossing and energetically written life of a very tricky and complex character. Slocum has at last met, in the author of The Duke of Deception, the biographer he has long deserved." - Jonathan Raban.
