“The story told in this book has a far wider sweep than Cook’s Australian east-coast adventure.  It encompasses the whole of Cook’s voyages, More than that, it outlines the entire career of the great mariner.  It is, indeed, a summary of the life-story of one of the most romantic and significant figures in the history of exploration by sea, and as such it will doubtless be warmly welcomed in a period of bi-centenary.  Especially, one imagines, will this book appeal to youth.’”
