Happy Adventure was a schooner with one fatal flaw. It leaked like a sieve. So why would anyone repeatedly expose himself and his friends to the elements of the North Atlantic in a treacherous, stubborn, uncomfortable, unfloatable boat which at last count, has sunk eight times? Any explanation of this appalling narative seems outrageously unlikely. But the story is true. All too true. And it’s decidedly the funniest story yet from Farley Mowat, whose books have sold over a million and a half copies in this country alone. Great, good humor… Very funny and often touching tribute to a love affair that saner, duller souls would no doubt christen Farley’s Folly. – The New York Times

Sheer delight. – Best Sellers
