The Pirate and the Three Cutters: Nonsuch Classics

By Frederick Marryat

Book Overview

From the legendary adventures of Robinson Crusoe to the tribulations and trials of C.S. Forester's Horatio Hornblower, the great characters of the sea-faring novel have long been etched into the national consciousness. One of the authors whose work stood on the prow amidst the first breaking waves of this genre was Captain Frederick Marryat. Based largely on personal experience of a long and highly decorated career in the Royal Navy, his work has an immediacy and authenticity that is hard to match. The Pirate & the Three Cutters is a collection of two of his novels, and two of the finest examples of tales that will delight the imagination.
