Description

Peter Simple is a tale of bravery and foolishness, set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars. Written by Frederick Marryat, a captain in the Royal Navy, this novel offers a unique insight into life at sea during the 19th century. Rejected by his aristocratic family, Peter Simple sets out to prove himself as a midshipman in the Royal Navy. With the help of a veteran sailor, he rises through the ranks and experiences the fierce fighting of the Napoleonic Wars. This edition of Marryat's novel is reimagined for modern readers, with a fresh, professionally typeset manuscript and a new cover. Mint Editions has brought this underappreciated classic to life, making it accessible to a new generation of readers. With its focus on sustainability and innovation, Mint Editions continues to spotlight diverse public domain works, bringing them into the modern era.
