The Mutiny on the Bounty

Patrick O’Brien

The popular story of the HMS Bounty has inspired books and movies. Now this unforgettable true adventure is retold for young pirate fans.

Captain Bligh used humiliation to keep discipline. But when his first mate, Christian Fletcher, felt the sharp end of his tongue too many times, a rebellion ensued. Set adrift, Bligh and loyal sailors made it back to British territory, while the mutineers settled on remote Pitcairn Island and were never found alive.

Patrick O’Brien (Maryland), once a draftsman in a naval architecture firm, is the author-illustrator of 11 books for children, including Fantastic Flights and The Great Ships.
