Wide Eyed Editions, 2020

“The voyage of the Beagle has been by far the most important event of my life and has determined my whole career.”

At the age of 22, Charles Darwin clambered up the steps of HMS Beagle armed with enough notepads to last him for several years and set sail on a journey of exploration that would change his life and how we view the entire world forever. From his fascination with the natural world that began at an early age, his love of collecting new specimens, and keen eye for observation to his groundbreaking theory of evolution, uncover the incredible life of Charles Darwin in this fascinating story of his life. When Darwin Sailed the Sea is the perfect book for any child who has ever looked at the world and asked “why.”
