This is the rare 1993 edition of Pugwash the Smuggler by John Ryan, the second and last by The Bodley Head, and published in the wonderful first issue dust jacket from 1975.
Captain Pugwash is delighted at the prospect of earning 500 golden crowns for smuggling barrels of brandy across the English Channel. But little does he suspect what's really inside the barrels! As usual, Cut-throat Jake is determined to give the Captain as much grief as possible, and he has a dastardly plot up his sleeve. Will Tom, the quick-witted cabin boy, uncover Jake's scheme and save the day?
