Knopf, 1927), thirteen-year-old Barbara Newhall Follett dived deep into pirate lore. She wanted to write about a fortune-telling girl her age whose world was gypsies and pirates-that is, another fictional autobiography like \u003cem\u003eHouse\u003c\/em\u003e. One problem: Barbara has never been to sea. She lacks the knowledge necessary for pirate writing. Luckily, a schooner from Nova Scotia has docked downtown, and Barbara demands that her parents let her sail back to Canada. \u003cem\u003eThe Voyage of the Norman D.\u003c\/em\u003e is Barbara's vivid account of her time on the \u003cem\u003eFrederick H. \u003c\/em\u003e(the \u003cem\u003eNorman D.\u003c\/em\u003e's true identity) in June 1927. This, her second book, was published by Knopf in 1928. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoing out as a cabin boy on a schooner among rough seamen, holding her own in the hard work, sharing the dangers of climbing the rigging in nasty weather, she has much to her credit.
