Lost in the Fog

Lost in the Fog by James De Mille launches listeners into a spirited 19th-century sea adventure where a band of schoolboys and seasoned sailors set out from Grand Pré aboard the trusty schooner Antelope. Set in 1870 and steeped in Victorian sensibilities, this young-adult fiction blends nautical action, humor, and moral reflection as familiar faces—Bruce, Arthur, Bart, Phil, Tom, and others—join Captain Corbet and his crew for a voyage that tests courage, friendship, and curiosity. De Mille’s lively prose captures the bustle of the wharf, the creak of rigging, and the strange allure of fog-bound seas, while exploring themes of growing up, loyalty, and the clash between youthful daring and adult caution. Period detail and wholesome adventure make the story as much a social snapshot as an exciting narrative. Perfect for listeners who love classic teen/young adult literature, maritime adventures, or Victorian-era coming-of-age tales, Lost in the Fog offers a warm, character-driven voyage ideal for long commutes, family listening, or anyone eager for an old-fashioned nautical romp with heart.
