The Scrimshaw Ring
A family story about an heirloom was the inspiration for this
suspenseful narrative about a young boy's encounter in 1710 with
mutinous pirates on a coastal Rhode Island farm. Author William
Jaspersohn deftly contrasts boyhood fantasies with the discovery of the
harsh realities of outlaw life. Vibrant illustrations heighten the
graphic intensity of Jaspersohn's prose. The final page offers ideas to
help children uncover the stories embedded in their own family
heirlooms.
