THE LION'S PAW

by Robb White ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 17, 1946

A sensitive, well-written story of two children, Nick and Penny, who escape from an orphanage and help Ben, a boy who refuses to accept the status of an orphan. The three sail away on Ben's father's ship to the Gulf of Mexico, in search of an elusive shell, the lion's paw. They find Ben's missing father, who has been rescued from the Japs; they discover the shell they are seeking; and they build a wonderful mutual relationship. There's a bit of the Arthur Ransome feel in the sound atmosphere, good sailing and alive, likable children.
