The Navigator Of New York |
Whether about St. John's, Newfoundland, the icy north or the bustling metropolis of New York, Johnston's descriptions are rich and powerful. In 1888 at the age of 17, Devlin Stead, a doctor's son, receives a letter which changes his life. The story depicts Devlin's search for his origins and the lives of Arctic explorers, with whom he becomes involved, who will go to any lengths to claim the fame of having reached the North Pole.
