A sea faring adventure series: Suitable for 5-8 year-olds.

Skipper David Peters is a real fisherman who works on Hastings beach in East Sussex. For a remarkable sixty-one years, he ventured out in all weathers to fish the waters of the English Channel.
Known as Spider to his fellow fishermen, he found it difficult to stop working when he retired at seventy-nine. He looked to pass some of his time by mending nets on the seafront at Hastings where he is a favourite of the tourists who love hearing his stories about his time at sea.
David also holds the British record for landing the country’s biggest ever plaice that weighed in at an incredible 20lb 10oz and is displayed in the Fishermen’s Club, All Saints Street, Hastings.
While the stories in the series are works of fiction, the character of David Peters the Skipper is portrayed as accurately as possible.
