Synopsis

A modernized (grammar, spelling, punctuation) version of the incredible true story of a young Englishman who signed on as a cabin boy in 1805, saw action as a privateer, was captured by natives in Tonga, and ended up a warlord and confidant of the king. Completely updated, with maps and illustrations and an extensive introduction, by editor David Rearwin. If you like sea stories and adventure - a true account of life in the age of whalers, pirates, press-gangs and the unspoiled South Seas - this is a must-read. A window on a world long since disappeared. Conveniently-sized, upgraded and readable edition of a real classic.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I listed myself as a 'primary contributor' but Amazon has credited me as the author, and it seems I have no way to change this. While I'm flattered, I can't claim the honor. I apologize for any confusion this may cause. -- DR
