Children can easily recognize themselves and their aspirations in the delightful stories of Rosalie Fry, and many will identify themselves with Martin, aged eleven, who had long planned to be an explorer. His father had given him the idea by his description of that 'moment of delight' that awaits the discoverer who is prepared to endure hardship and danger. Martin therefore kept his haversack stocked with his most treasured equipment for the event - maps, a notebook and a compass among other things. The time came when he found himself on caravan holiday with his mother and his little sister Linda in a district of sea, rivers, woods and sandhills - explorer's territory without a doubt. It looked as if opportunity was beckoning him.
