This is a group of short stories of how Doctor Dogbody lost his leg...10 different ways! I don't know why, but this put me to sleep!

Lover's of the tall tale or just plain sea stories will enjoy the way Dr. Dogbody entertains new Midshipmen, with tales on how he lost his leg while serving the King

This is a thoroughly enjoyable book. Its a collection of stories, told by Dr. Dogbody, as to how he lost his leg. The stories are very entertaining. The setting is England in the early 1800's, so there is a little effort required to decipher the language of the time, but its just a minor thing.

Hilarious tall tales by a seagong Munchausen. Each story --completely in consistent with the others --tells the wildly improbably story of how he lost his leg while serving as a ship's doctpr in the British Navy in the 18th century anything from having ot chopped off by an Indian's tomahawk to being eaten by wolves to save Catherine the Great.
