About this book
Written for children, Edward Whymper’s tale follows Katey, a girl from the Isle of Man whose wish to see England leads her to board a ship without her parents knowing. At Douglas, the busy quay and the departing packet make her imagined visit seem easy to begin. Once at sea, she falls asleep among the calves, while her family at home fears for her. In Liverpool, Mrs Stephens and her daughters care for Katey and prepare her for the voyage back.
