As a child I loved the cartoon movie from 1979, I enjoyed the retellings on TV through the 90s and the various short retelling books.
I thought I knew the story, but after reading this one I realized I missed a lot more of the story then just a man that has no business sailing the number of times that he has been shipped wrecked and surprised he has a family the amount of time he was gone.
But what I never noticed is that with each place he was at, was the author telling the reader how
broken the world is and/or how we can be better as people. This makes this children's classic even better as an adult.
