A children's classic which has become everyone's classic. Shirly Temple and Buddy Ebson starred in the 1930s movie made from this book. Old Captain January raises an orphan girl which the sea brought to him. She is a blythe spirit and the joy of the old man's life but eventually someone else claims her. Well worth reading and a delight to own.
