Regular price
€13.99
English explorer Henry Hudson had long searched for a quicker, northern sailing route from Europe to Asia. Three previous expeditions had failed. In 1610, he embarked again to find the fabled Northwest Passage. But when icy waters stranded Hudson and his ship the Discovery in a bay for the winter, tensions flared. The crew lost faith in their captain’s leadership and began to plot... mutiny!
Told through a gripping, full-colour graphic novel format, this Deadly Expeditions tale transports readers back in time to follow the fourth, and final, voyage of Henry Hudson, bringing history to life for even the most reluctant and struggling readers.
