From the publisher

Benjamin Pink lived with his wife, Emily, in a little white house on Clover Hill. One bright sky-blue morning Benjamin looked at the smooth green sea and said, “A perfect day for fishing!” But the only thing Benjamin catches this day is a rainstorm that strands him on a deserted island with a chest full of treasure. What’s a rabbit to do when he has no way of getting back home? Well, if you’re Benjamin Pink, you’re sure to think of something!Rosemary Wells has adapted an episode from the 1951 novel The Adventures of Benjamin Pink and lovingly added color to the original black-and-white illustrations for a glorious picture-book version of this beloved Garth Williams classic.
