Marryat corrupted, 2 September 2001
2/10
Author: Stewart Naunton (snaunton@online.ru) from Moscow, Russia

This is a miserable distortion of Captain Marryat's fine novel for young people; importing modern motivations and behaviour into this thoughtful and humane story, abandoning the theme of life in the forest for a wholly invented adventure yarn. This series is awful, bearing no comparison with the fine BBC series of the early 1970s. Avoid it - read the book.
