The Hartlepool Monkey
written by Carl Grose
An adventure story for sea dogs and landlubbers, children and adults alike.
A French ship runs aground off the coast of England. Only a cabin girl and the ship’s mascot, a chimpanzee, survive and make it to shore. But the townsfolk mistake the monkey, in its military uniform, for a spy, and condemn him to a life-or-death trial. What will the verdict be – and can the local children save the day?
