Sailing Adventures of Greece is a collection of nine stories, Mikey Simpson seems to be at his best in the short story writing. The first story, "George Becomes a Seaman", is the longest. George, in spite of the desires of his lawyer father, goes to sea, where he has many adventures, culminating in an event in which he was presumed to have lost his life. Very short of money, and looking somewhat dishevelled, he reaches home, where he is not recognised by his sisters, but a girl who was being brought up by the family, and who likes George, does recognise him, and he is given a great welcome home.
