Fritz and Eric The Brother Crusoes - A Tale of Survival and Brotherhood on a Deserted Island

John C. Hutcheson

Sinopse

In "Fritz and Eric: The Brother Crusoes," John C. Hutcheson presents a captivating tale of adventure, sibling camaraderie, and survival on a deserted island. This narrative is notable for its vivid descriptions and engaging prose, embodying the adventure fiction style prevalent in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of maritime exploration and influenced by the literary context of Robinsonades, Hutcheson's work delves into themes of resilience, brotherly bonds, and the challenges posed by nature. The story unfolds through a blend of action and moral lessons, characteristic of the period's juvenile literature, inviting readers to witness the brothers' transformation through their harrowing circumstances. John C. Hutcheson, a prominent figure in adventure narrative, was greatly inspired by his own experiences at sea and his fascination with maritime tales. His background as a sailor greatly informed the authentic details embedded in the story, reflecting his deep understanding of life on the ocean and the complexities of survival in isolation. With a repertoire that includes various adventure stories, Hutcheson sought to entertain and educate young readers about the virtues of courage, resourcefulness, and friendship. I highly recommend "Fritz and Eric" to readers of all ages, particularly those who appreciate a blend of adventure and moral growth in children's literature. Hutcheson's masterful storytelling not only captivates the imagination but also imparts essential life lessons, making it both an enjoyable and enlightening read.

Jim Cockin

'Spookily spellbinding - gripped me with an icy finger from the first page' - Catherine Bruton
Don't open the box, warned the old man.
But Charlie can't help himself...
Fourteen-year-old London schoolboy Charlie has been looking forward to playing football with his mates in the Christmas holidays. Instead, he is packed off to the wilds of the East Anglian coast to stay with an uncle he barely knows.
It's going to be a tough week. Uncle Patrick's ramshackle house doesn't have wi-fi, his daughter Ariel seems determined to be vile – and who are the mysterious children laughing after dark in the empty bedroom next to Charlie's?
When Charlie finds an ancient brass box buried on the beach, he unleashes a chilling sequence of events. At least these bring him and his grumpy cousin together, as the pair battle to solve the mystery of the 'box of souls' and re-capture the violent ghostly presence wreaking havoc around the town.
A stirring spine-chiller, Ghost Tide is a spooky, unforgettable tale of restless spirits and youthful heroism.
