(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Edward Ardizzone. Every day, old Jim sits on a crate on a London street corner, often regaling boy Derry with fantastical tales of his youthful seagoing adventures as mate on the good ship Rocking-horse. No one can tell stories like Farjeon, and these do not disappoint. With Ardizzone's scene-setting pen-and-ink vignette illustrations, this little book has oceans of appeal.
