520 1 $a"The Grosvenor was one of the finest East Indianmen of her day, a grand three-masted square-rigger of 741 tons bristling with cannon. When she ran aground on the treacherous coast of south-east Africa, an astonishing number of her crew and passengers, including women and children, reached the shore safely. But the castaways were hundreds of miles from the nearest European outpost - and utterly ignorant of their surroundings and the people among whom they found themselves." "Stephen Taylor pieces together this saga with narrative flair. Drawing on much new research, he sifts the myths that became attached to the Grosvenor from a reality that is no less gripping. Taking the reader to the heart of what is now the Wild Cost of Pondoland, Caliban's Shore reveals the misunderstandings that led to tragedy, tells the story of those who escaped, and unravels the mystery of those who stayed."--BOOK JACKET.
