. Classic boy's adventure, combining grit and pluck with steam punk high tech, in the style of Jules Verne.
'The Flying Fish actually surpasses all Jules Verne's creations; with incredible speed she flies through the air, skims over the surface of the water, and darts along the ocean bed. We strongly recommend our school-boy friends to possess themselves of her log.'--Athenæum.
Collingwood/Lancaster, an engineer by profession, possessed a remarkable talent for crafting an abundance of juvenile boys' tales, with a predominant focus on maritime adventures. Though his literary ventures rarely delved into the realm of fantasy, Collingwood shared a common thread with many British juvenile authors of his era. He fervently upheld traditional Tory values of supremacy, courage, and the expansion of the empire.
The unique appeal of Collingwood's work lay in his adept incorporation of cutting-edge scientific advancements. This fusion resulted in the creation of a believable, albeit speculative, near-future technological backdrop for his narratives.
