Captain Boldheart & the Latin-Grammar Master A Holiday Romance from the Pen of Lieut-Col. Robin Redforth, aged 9

Captain Boldheart rules the deck of his sleek schooner, the Beauty, with a mix of swagger and childlike wonder. Fresh from a birthday celebration, he sets out across the China seas, leading a loyal crew in song and daring hunts for whales and treasure. His boldness is matched only by the strange rivalry that drives him—a lingering grudge against a Latin‑Grammar Master that fuels his quest for honor.

As the crew sails toward distant horizons, the captain’s charismatic command keeps mutinous whispers at bay while daring raids on Spanish galleons add to his growing legend. Yet beneath the bravado, the story teases a softer side, hinting at friendships forged over shared meals and the occasional mishap. Listeners will be drawn into a lively, swash‑buckling adventure that captures the imagination of a nine‑year‑old’s mind, with humor and heart beating at every turn.
