Westward Ho!

Hola, me llamo Finn y voy a ayudarte a entender este libro.

Aquí está, explicado como si tuvieras 10 años:

Amyas Leigh es un muchacho alto y fuerte de Devon que anhela el mar. En los días de la reina Isabel navega hacia el oeste con capitanes audaces, persiguiendo barcos españoles cargados de oro, enfrentando tormentas, selvas y la cruel Inquisición en América del Sur. Ama, pierde, y se endurece con la venganza. En casa su historia termina cuando la Armada española viene contra Inglaterra. Charles Kingsley la cuenta como una epopeya, y dedicó el libro en febrero de 1855 a dos héroes a los que admiraba.
