A tale of 1800’s England. Stanley Hilda and Daisy love the month of August because that is when their family gets to spend a holiday at the English seashore. One day they notice an old bell hanging near the beach and Jonas an older sailor steps forward to answer their questions about what it is for. He tells them the story of the courageous men who run the lifeboats and the particular impact one such rescue had on his life. A very thorough account of how sailors would go to the rescue of grounded ships during storms. Illustrated with beautiful detailed pictures of every step of the rescue process
