The Island of Appledore E-text prepared by Roger Frank from page images generously made available by Internet Archive (https://archive.org) "The Island of Appledore" by Cornelia Meigs is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. It focuses on young Billy Wentworth, who finds himself spending the summer on Appledore Island, an unfamiliar and seemingly dull place to him initially. Throughout the story, Billy encounters various characters, including the old sailor Captain Saulsby and a local boy named Johann Happs, all while navigating the mysteries, adventures, and challenges posed by the island. The opening of the book introduces readers to Billy Wentworth's initial frustration at being sent to Appledore Island instead of his planned summer adventure in the Rockies. He begrudgingly approaches Captain Saulsby's home amidst a picturesque setting of the rocky coast, where he observes Captain Saulsby mending a sock in an unconventional image of a sailor. Billy's curiosity is piqued by the strange behavior of Johann Happs, introducing an element of mystery. As the chapter unfolds, hints of adventure beyond Billy's initial sulkiness emerge, suggesting that his summer may not be as boring as he anticipates, particularly with regards to the island's intriguing past and the looming conflicts surrounding it.
