1902. With an introduction by David Hannay. English novelist who
began writing after a distinguished career in the British Navy.
From the Introduction: When Marryat composed Peter Simple in 1834,
he had no need to do more than look back on his recollections of
service in the Imperieuse and other ships during the great war...It
will never be allowed by sound criticism that his knowledge of the
sealife was Marryat's merit, and not merely his, and our, good
fortunes. Yet his greatest admirer will hardly claim for him that
he belonged to that highest class of novelists who can create
characters which live by their mere human truth...His recollections
supplied him with a great deal more when he wrote Peter Simple.
They came spontaneously, and in abundance. It is impossible not to
believe that he must have enjoyed the writing of the book almost as
much as three generations of men and boys have enjoyed the reading.
