Publisher's summary

Author of the beloved Redwall series, Brian Jacques is one of the most popular fantasy authors in the world, with over 40 million books in print. This New York Times best seller will impress listeners with its original twist on the legend of the ghost ship, the Flying Dutchman.

The Flying Dutchman is cursed to sail the seven seas for all eternity without rest. The two innocent castaways, a young mute boy named Neb and his dog, Denmark, are washed overboard from the hoary yacht and end up on the seashore of a cozy, yet endangered English village. With the help of the townsfolk, Neb and Denmark solve riddles and search for the buried secrets that can save the village and its people.

A brilliant departure from the Redwall series, this novel will undoubtedly satisfy longtime Jacques fans and newcomers alike.

Are you ready for adventure?

I've always enjoyed Brian Jacques due to reading Redwall as a kid. Castaways of the Flying Dutchman does not disappoint. Brian leading the was as the narrator and top notch voice actors carry Ben and his dog Ned through a beautiful tale of adventure from start to end. This will make you want to travel the world with a dog by your side.

A fun adventure of a boy and his dog

A great story narrated by one of my favorite authors. The cast does a great job bringing the book to life and really enhanced the reader's experience.

A great adventure!

I really liked the story and learned a lot about how sea faring life was. I enjoyed the story of what happened to Ben in his life after he and his dog met the Angel. The Chapelvale story had many interesting twists and turns to it! I loved most of the people that he helped and the way that Ben was able to help then and encourage them. I great story which gets you wondering about your own life. Enjoyed it very much

Best book

I loved this book growing up, borrowing it from the library a lot. Now I get to have it read to me, with different voices for the different people. I loved it. Listened in one day, will re-listen.

Brian Jacques is my favorite author

I loved this book as much as I loved all Mr. Jacques other books. The performances by the narrators were terrific.

One of my favorites

Brian Jacques is one of those authors that I grew up reading, and no matter how many times I read or listen to his books, I always find something new to appreciate and enjoy. This story is one of my favorites, and I don't know how many times I've entered into the world of Castaways but I continue to love every second of these stories.

Great story, bad production value.

Fluctuations in volume and audio quality were the worst part. But I love the story and characters.

Well played accents.

I LOVE all of Brian Jaques books! I've read most of them multiple times. I hope they're all on Audible.
