Book ID/图书代码： 03650116B89026

English Summary/英文概要： Who can love the spread of canvas and the bend of the oak and not thrill to the names of the great clippers built by Donald McKay? Great Republic, Sovereign of the Seas, Lightening, Star of the Empire, and Westward Ho these names ring from an era when the windships were the queens of the ocean and sail was king. But the most famous, the one that most securely captured the hearts and imaginations of the entire nation, was McKay’s masterpiece, the Flying Cloud.

Here is the story of Enoch Thacher, a boy whose father lost his fortune at sea, who McKay takes on during the lofting, building, and rigging of the Cloud, and who finally ships out on her for her maiden, record-breaking trip around the Horn. Accompanied by Sperry’s wonderfully vigorous drawings, this realistic and riveting narrative will keep even landlubbers pegged to their seats.

A magical book. The romance is irresistible. --Fort Worth Star Telegram

All Sail Set is a gripping novel and one of the best sea yarns ever written. It tells the story of Enoch Thatcher, who sails with the renowned skipper Josiah "Perk" Creesy on the maiden voyage of the legendary Flying Cloud, the clipper that set the record ’round the Horn. What sets All Sail Set apart from most sea tales is its unerring accuracy; it has the ring of truth. Coupled with Armstrong Sperry’s detailed, vigorous drawings, this is a realist and riveting narrative that will keep even landlubbers pegged to their seats! --Midwest Book Review

About the Author/作者介绍： Armstrong Wells Sperry（1897.11.7-1976.4.26），美国作家、儿童文学插画家。他的作品包括关于航海的历史小说、传记，有关波利尼西亚和亚?这位出生于十九世纪末的作家，一生热爱旅行，勤于说故事，所以他写的任何一本书，都成为他走过世界的最好纪录。法属塔希提两年的旅居生活触动了他在创作上的灵感，其中最成熟的一本代表作，便是1941年获得纽伯瑞大奖的《海上小勇士》（1998年由中国少年儿童出版社出版，豆瓣评分8.8）。虽然身为儿童小说家，但是从创作之始，他便不曾因为对象是儿童，而蓄意将书中语调轻松化或语言简单化。在他的书中，读者看不到特别天真、可爱的字眼，却不减书中自然洋溢出来的吸引小读者的力量。

Armstrong Wells Sperry (November 7, 1897 – April 26, 1976) was an American writer and illustrator of children’s literature. His books include historical fiction and biography, often set on sailing ships, and stories of boys from Polynesia, Asia and indigenous American cultures. He is best known for his 1941 Newbery Medal-winning book Call It Courage.
