'You are standing on a narrow quay-side waiting to board a small sailing ship. You are about to make an exciting but dangerous and uncomfortable voyageâ¦â
So begins this account of the voyage of the Mayflower in which David Gay's exciting historical narrative follows the nine week passage for the Pilgrims through the eyes of an imaginary family, Matthew and Martha Lovelace, with their typical children, Justice and Prudence. They encounter such fascinating characters as Master Reynolds, John Howland and William Butten- all of whom really took the Mayflowerâs historic voyage. Here are three thousand miles of adventure, written with a sensitive appreciation of Godâs care for his people, and of young peopleâs love for adventure.
