Kensuke's Kingdom

[9781405259422]

This is a classic story of love overcoming differences. 'I heard the wind above me in the sails. I remember thinking, this is silly, you haven't got your safety harness on, you haven't got your lifejacket on. You shouldn't be doing this...I was in the cold of the sea before I could even open my mouth to scream'. Washed up on an island in the Pacific, Michael struggles to survive on his own. With no food and no water, he curls up to die. When he wakes, there is a plate beside him of fish, of fruit, and a bowl of fresh water. He is not alone...One horse has the seen the best and the worst of humanity. The power of war and the beauty of peace. This is his story.
