Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ghost ship full of long-lost gold beckons, and Biggles gets an icy reception... Biggles, Algie, Bertie and Ginger are visited by Grimes, an old pal from the war, whose father, a Merchant Navy captain known as Jumbo, is in a spot of bother. He was recently tricked into skippering a crew of seal poachers to an islet off Antarctica. While there, they spotted an old ship – still rigged for sail – trapped in the pack ice. After an investigation of the ship, Jumbo overheard the words ‘starry’ and ‘crown’ from the jubilant crew. An avid fan of an unsolved mysteries, Biggles immediately recognises the importance of these words. Jumbo and his crew had stumbled upon the long-lost schooner Starry Crown, which went missing seventy years prior with a ton of Australian gold ingots aboard. There have been several sightings and ill-fated recovery expeditions since, but no one has ever retrieved the gold. Grimes reckons that they might be able to beat the poachers to the treasure if they were to go by air, and wonders if Biggles is interested in an adventure. After making a few enquiries, Biggles agrees to the expedition, but there is more than gold in the Starry Crown, and no help for miles across Antarctica’s vast silence... Wrap up warm for a classic Biggles adventure to the frozen continent of Antarctica.

Book excerpt: Biggles is approached by 'Jumbo' Grimes, whose father used to serve in his old squadron in the Western Desert. His father had sighted a wreck trapped in the Antarctic ice pack which he believed carried a "crown" with "stars". Biggles believes it to be the Starry Crown, a long lost schooner which carried a horde of gold. Soon the Biggles quartet - Sergeant Bigglesworth, C.I.D., Ginger, Algy and Bertie - are airborne to the South Pole on a treasure-hunt waged against time and the fierce opposition of Lavinsky and his gang. This tale of courage, exploration and adventure has an authentic background in the story of the Starry Crown, whose loss with her cargo of gold is one of the unsolved mysteries of the sea.

Download or read book Antarctica in British Children s Literature written by Sinead Moriarty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over a century British authors have been writing about the Antarctic for child readers, yet this body of literature has never been explored in detail. Antarctica in British Children’s Literature examines this field for the first time, identifying the dominant genres and recurrent themes and tropes while interrogating how this landscape has been constructed as a wilderness within British literature for children. The text is divided into two sections. Part I focuses on the stories of early-twentieth-century explorers such as Robert F. Scott and Ernest Shackleton. Antarctica in British Children’s Literature highlights the impact of children’s literature on the expedition writings of Robert Scott, including the influence of Scott’s close friend, author J.M. Barrie. The text also reveals the important role of children’s literature in the contemporary resurgence of interest in Scott’s long-term rival Ernest Shackleton. Part II focuses on fictional narratives set in the Antarctic, including early-twentieth-century whaling literature, adventure and fantasy texts, contemporary animal stories and environmental texts for children. Together these two sections provide an insight into how depictions of this unique continent have changed over the past century, reflecting transformations in attitudes towards wilderness and wild landscapes.
