The Boy Who Fell Off the Mayflower, or John Howlands Good Fortune by P J Lynch
In the first book he has both written and illustrated, master artist P.J. Lynch brings a Mayflower voyager's story to vivid life.
Set in the 1600s and written in the first person, Lynch's latest offering weaves a compelling adventure story about emigration and colonisation [..] Stunningly evocative illustrations by the author capture the mood of the story perfectly. Inis Reading Guide A wide format showcases exquisite, detailed pictures - both dramatic seascapes and sublime portrayals - in watercolour and gouache. A wonderful visual and literary experience! Carousel The Atlantic has never looked as dark and swirling as in PJ's magnificent illustrations. -- Sarah Webb Sunday Independent Dublin Text and illustrations work in complete harmony, a combination perhaps best represented by the exquisite image of John reaching up to his ship beneath the waves [...] A wonderful read. Inis Magazine Certainly a beautiful book for reading both as an illustrated novel and a source of information about the early years of life in North America The School Librarian
