Burton the Red

AN OMNIBUS EDITION containing the complete texts of the first three adventures of Burton the Red: IN THE NORTH, BURTON WITH THE THOUSAND and BEYOND ASPROMONTE. Jack Burton, who sailed the seas in 1848 to fight for the Italy of his dreams, who with a band of rebels caused the rising in 1860 in Palermo, who rode with the Thousand across Sicily, and then watched as Il Generale fell at Aspromonte, captivates two young boys with his yarns one night in a schoolyard. Burton is traveling now with a trained ape in a one ring circus. The boys decide to run away with the circus, and with this strange Burtoni. But is he a liar? Or are his adventures the truth? Without leaving a trace, Jack Burton disappears the next night in a long red convertible that seems to be driven by his ape, Zambutti Sam. So the two brothers find themselves for years pursuing him across the globe, in search of any trace they might find of something they don't quite understand.
