Hamilton Narby moved to Bordeaux from Canada in the late 1970s to renovate a rundown château bought by his family in the sweet wine region of Sauternes. Under the Narby stewardship of almost 30 years Château Guiraud, a 1st Classified Growth, was restored to its former glory. This short story, written for his grand daughter Margaux, draws on his love of the region and the story behind the Golden Dolphin that graced the wine label. The illustrations are by William and Amy Narby - a family affair.

A baby dolphin swims closely beside his mother up to the ocean surface. Something amazing happens and he begins his quest to become the Golden Dolphin. In this first adventure Arcadio is challenged to race through the Gigantic Ring Tunnels and in the process learns what his special gift is and how he can use it to help others.

The golden dolphin: the story of an expedition to discover what happened to a ship lost in the South Seas. The marooner: the story of infamous Caribbean buccaneer Long Tom Pugh. Forced luck: Tells of Barthelemy "Bart" Portuguese, a superstitious freebooter who believed a gold amulet guaranteed success.
