Summary

In "Boy Scouts in a Submarine; Or, Searching an Ocean Floor," G. Harvey Ralphson crafts an adventurous narrative that intertwines camaraderie and discovery beneath the waves. The book paints a vivid picture of young scouts embarking on an extraordinary submarine expedition, exploring the mysteries of the ocean floor. Ralphson's engaging prose combines elements of early 20th-century adventure literature and the burgeoning genre of science fiction, reflecting the era's fascination with technology and the natural world. Rich with imaginative detail, the story resonates with themes of bravery, teamwork, and the spirit of exploration, illustrating the unyielding curiosity of youth. G. Harvey Ralphson, a prolific author of children'Äôs literature in the early 1900s, often drew inspiration from the era's cultural fascination with nature and adventure. His background in storytelling and his experiences with youth organizations like the Boy Scouts imbue this work with authentic insights into the values of cooperation, leadership, and resourcefulness. Ralphson's own outdoor escapades and engagement with youth movements likely influenced his depiction of idealized friendship and exploration in the face of the unknown. This book is a delightful read for children and adults alike, fostering a sense of wonder about the sea and its secrets. Ralphson'Äôs tale serves not only as entertainment but as an inspiration for curiosity and discovery. Enthusiasts of adventure fiction, as well as educators and parents seeking to instill these values in young readers, will find this story both captivating and enriching.

    The Boss is back… And he’s brought his Big Brother with him!   
With his hidden microphones and numbered gang members, a devious criminal mastermind known only as “the Boss” has broken out of prison and has been working behind the scenes to topple the financial institutions of the world.  
  
His plan appears to have something to do with computers. And, possibly, potatoes.  
 
In any case, it’s up to super sleuth Agaton Sax - along with Aunt Matilda and the long-suffering Inspector Lispington - to stop them in their tracks…   
If they can.  
 
The Agaton Sax series of books were first published in Sweden, later being translated into English and printed with illustrations by much-loved artist Quentin Blake (perhaps best known for his work on the books of Roald Dahl). The English translations became immensely popular, achieving the status of the most re-issued mystery & detective series in the history of Nordic children's literature.   
Now, for the first time, Oak Tree Books is proud to publish the entire Agaton Sax series in audio format, newly translated for the next generation and expertly narrated by Barnaby Eaton-Jones.
