The Voyages Of Captain Cook

Book Blurb for The Voyages of Captain Cook (1999) by Tom Griffith (Wordsworth Classics), as sold by Crappy Old Books:

Embark on an epic journey across uncharted oceans with The Voyages of Captain Cook, a gripping retelling of one of history’s greatest adventures. This 1999 Wordsworth Classics edition, edited and introduced by Tom Griffith, dives deep into the daring expeditions of James Cook — the self-made navigator who mapped the Pacific, challenged the unknown, and paid the ultimate price.

Sailing from Tahiti to the treacherous shores of Antarctica, Cook’s voyages weren’t just about discovery; they were about obsession, endurance, and the limits of empire. Griffith’s introduction offers a sharp-eyed historical context, while Cook’s own journal entries and logs bring his world vividly to life.

At Crappy Old Books, we know a real adventure doesn’t come shrink-wrapped. Expect pages with character, corners with stories, and the lingering scent of distant libraries. A classic tale of exploration, ready to be rediscovered — slightly worn, but full of wonder.

Near new, except for the slight mark on the front cover and crease.
