Hughes' most famous novel is A High Wind in Jamaica (1929), which was first published in the USA under the title of its successful stage adaptation, The Innocent Voyage. Set in the 19th century, it explores the events that follow the accidental capture of a group of English children by pirates: the children are revealed as considerably more amoral than the pirates.
The lithographs as follows: 13 full page, 10 within text and frontispiece
