The Custom of the Sea by Neil Hanson

RM12
Condition: Good and Brand New (however, pages have turned a little yellow with time)
Genre: A true story of shipwreck and cannibalism on the high seas


This is another book I never got to reading simply because I have a bad habit of buying more new books without finishing what I have yet. But I know it will be a good story. I actually bought it while I was in Australia a couple of years ago. Looking for a new owner who would actually get down to reading it. I am too busy for my own hobby.

Snippet of synopsis on back cover:
This is the true story of the voyage and the subsequent court case which outlawed for ever a practice followed since men first put to the ocean in boats: the custom of the sea.
