Castaways of the Flying Dutchman is the first novel in the Castaways series by Brian Jacques and was published in 2001.[1] It is based on the legend of the cursed ship known as the Flying Dutchman. A young boy, Nebuchadnezzar (later Neb (shortened) and Ben (reversed)), and his dog, Denmark (named after the country in which he was found and later Den (shortened) and Ned (reversed)), are the lone survivors of the Flying Dutchman, fated to wander the earth forever immortal and youthful, helping those who need aid.

The cover art was illustrated by Michael Koelsch.[2] The second and third books in the series, The Angel's Command and Voyage of Slaves, were published in 2003 and 2006, respectively.[3] Koelsch also illustrated the cover art of the third novel.[4]
