CAY, THE

Puffin Modern Classics are relaunched under a new logo: A PUFFIN BOOK. There are 20 titles to collect in the series, listed below, all with exciting new covers and fun-filled endnotes.

The Cay is a tense and compulsive survival story by Theodore Taylor of a young boy and an old man adrift on the ocean, then marooned on a tiny, deserted island. It is also a fascinating study of the relationship between Phillip, white, American, and influenced by his mother's prejudices, and the black man upon whom Phillip's life depends.
