Captains Courageous

By: Rudyard Kipling

Narrated by: Nadia May

Harvey Cheyne is the pampered son of a multimillionaire who falls off an ocean liner and is rescued by a small fishing boat. After being punched in the nose by the captain of the vessel for smart-mouthing him, Harvey quickly learns respect, toughness, and gratitude. He steps up from self-centeredness into the difficult but fulfilling realm of self-reliance and unselfishness.

A popular favorite since its first publication in 1897, the novel remains a classic story of youthful initiation and a lively tribute to the author's famous code of bravery, loyalty, and honor among men.

Critic reviews

"[Shows] delicacy of craft and violence of feeling, exactitude and wily impressionism, subtlety and true innocence." (Angus Wilson)
