Like other titles in the Enslow biography series, Henry Hudson is a good, if simplistic, telling of the explorations of this English navigator. The book provides a basic overview of Hudson’s adventures, including some background on the conflict between the English and Dutch for the conquest of trade routes and the New World. I did learn something; I had no idea Hudson died after being put off his last ship by mutineers. A Timeline, Glossary and list for Further Reading are provided if the reader would like more information.
