I love the way this one sings along nicely, a great tale indeed from start to finish, and just as I read this one Tom, Master and Commander is playing in the background on the TV this evening.

I love the way this one sings along nicely. A lovely tale indeed. Funnily enough I have the film Master and Commander playing in the background which adds the perfect atmosphere whilst reading this one Tom. The hinting of a different woman in each port truly a sailors tale indeed. A very enjoyable read. Anna
