Sam Llewellyn here turns his formidable storytelling talents to a break-neck speed adventure tale for children: Gussie Smith is in trouble - again! Slimy Snell, the Truant Officer, will deport him from the beautiful Isles of Scilly back to the mainland, unless he can keep his nose out of trouble. Then along comes Arthur Hopcraft and his tin leg, and Gussie is thrown into a whirlwind of very unusual disasters and exciting adventures at sea. Who knows where it will all end?
