Description
brought to England in the mid-1800s to be 'educated' and 'civilised' by Captain
Robert FitzRoy - this book illustrates Jemmy's bizarre encounters and his return
back home. Collaborating across continents, without a common language, Valerio's
precision and Jennifer's primitive style have resulted in a story unlike any other.
