About the author
Before becoming a novelist, Frederick Marryat served in the Royal Navy. Born in London in 1792, he went to sea as a teenager, saw active service during the Napoleonic era, and rose to the rank of captain before leaving the navy in 1830.
He drew heavily on that experience in his fiction, which made him one of the first major English writers to bring naval life vividly onto the page. He is especially remembered for novels such as Mr Midshipman Easy, Peter Simple, and the much-loved children's book The Children of the New Forest.
Marryat's stories are known for their brisk pace, practical detail, and strong sense of adventure. Writing in the early Victorian period, he helped define the modern sea tale and influenced many later writers of maritime fiction.
