"[Marryat's] adventures are enthralling; the rapidity of his action fascinates....His greatness
is undeniable."--Joseph Conrad

In this seminal story of naval life during the Napoleonic wars, Frederick Marryat's young hero embarks upon
a life at sea and finds it to be a rough school indeed. Simple's trials and triumphs, alongside his faithful mentor,
Terence O'Brien, mirror Marryat's personal experience, from the hand-to-hand combat of cutting-out missions to
the devastating hurricane off St. Pierre and the mutiny aboard the Rattlesnake.

Peter Simple is a towering tale from the great age of sail, filled with keen wit, vivid characters, and gripping
adventure.
