Publisher's Synopsis
Captain Eli's Best Ear is a book written by Frank R. Stockton. It is a humorous and entertaining story about a sea captain named Eli who has an unusually large and sensitive ear. The story follows Captain Eli as he navigates through various adventures on the high seas, using his ear to hear things that other sailors cannot. Along the way, he encounters a variety of interesting characters, including a talking parrot and a group of pirates. The book is filled with witty dialogue, clever twists, and unexpected surprises. It is a fun and engaging read for both children and adults, and is sure to leave readers with a smile on their faces.But now the heart of Captain Eli was gently moved by a Christmas flutter. It had been foolish, perhaps, for him to go up to the store at such a time as this, but the mischief had been done. Old feelings had come back to him, and he would be glad to celebrate Christmas this year if he could think of any good way to do it. And the result of his mental observations was that he went over to Captain Cephas's house to talk to him about it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
