Synopsis

When Mother tells her young son about a sea voyage they took some years earlier she adds, "but you were only a baby, you wouldn't remember." But, as the reader soon discovers, the boy has quite vivid memories--of increasingly hilarious goings-on that made no impression whatsoever on his amusingly oblivious mother and aunt.

About this title

Synopsis:

A mother tells her son about the sea journey they did in the 1860s, when the boy was a baby. She keeps telling him, 'but you were only a baby, you wouldn't remember' - but is this really true? Who saw a sailor fall overboard into the sea, and then being rescued? Who saw a whale from the cabin window when everyone else was sleeping? Who fed apples to the stowaway hiding under the captain's table? And who saw the captain fall asleep during a big storm? 'There was nothing to see, but the sea,' sighs Mother, 'but you were only a baby, you wouldn't remember." But it looks like the boy remembers quite a lot more than his mother - even the reason why they didn't return on the same ship ...
