What People are Saying About This

Editorial Reviews

Frederick Marryat's greatness is undeniable.

Joseph Conrad

Marryat has the power to set us in the midst of ships and men and sea and sky all vivid, credible, authentic.

Virginia Woolf

This was Marryat's navy, his world, and no one brings it to us with greater authenticity.

Alexander Kent

With this duo, published in 1829 and 1836, respectively, McBooks launches its new "Classics of Nautical Fiction." Marryat was a skipper in the British Navy, and the action here is based on his real experiences before the mast. When all your Patrick O'Brians are out, recommend Marryat.

Library Journal

Brisk, lively…Readable to this day…Marryat knew what he was talking about.
