The Hartlepool Monkey
EN NWISBN: 9780861662265 bzw. 0861662261, in Englisch, neu.
1814, off the Durham coast, near the village of Hartlepool, a war-ship in the Napoleonic fleet founders during a storm and sinks. At day-break, fishermen discover a survivor: a monkey dressed in full military regalia, the mascot. The good people of Hartlepool despise all Frenchmen, though they have never seen one in the flesh.

Inspired by this famous legend, this is a tragi-comic fable of war and jingoism.
