Introduction

In 1937, Metro Goldwyn Mayer produced Captains Courageous, one of those
adventure films that transcend time. Years after seeing it for the first time,
I decided to use the original story, the novel by the same name written by
Rudyard Kipling in 1896, for this small collection of children’s books. I
thought it would be a good idea to adapt the original story into an
easy-to-read tale that, nonetheless, would still keep the spirit in Kipling’s
work.
