At Langrove Publishing, we believe in the power of stories to inspire the imagination through tales of adventure and friendship. Our stories are lovingly created and illustrated by individual authors and illustrators in the UK, printed sustainably in Devon.

Bosun Bob is a beautifully evocative tale of a tenacious sea-faring dog and his adventures at sea. Written in rhyming prose and beautifully illustrated, this classic nautical tale is a perfect accompaniment to children’s bedtime.
Bob sets sail at dawn, leaving the safety of his harbour for the open ocean. He meets a series of mysterious and sometimes frightening sea creatures before his ship is wrecked in a violent thunderstorm. Bob is rescued from an untimely end and meets an unlikely shipmate in the process.
“This beautiful story and stunning illustrations really celebrate our ocean and the fascinating creatures who call it home. A book for children and grown-ups to enjoy together and treasure for generations to come.” Andy Cooper, Editor, Coast magazine

Bob and his feline friend have escaped shipwreck and are off on a nautical treasure hunt.
