Autorenporträt
Frederick Marryat was a British Royal Navy officer and a prominent novelist, born on July 10, 1792, in Westminster, London. He gained recognition as an early pioneer of nautical fiction, with works like Mr. Midshipman Easy drawing from his own naval experiences. Marryat also authored several notable children's books, including The Children of the New Forest, which remains a classic in children's literature. He was educated at Great Ealing School and later served in the Royal Navy, where his experiences at sea influenced much of his writing. In 1819, he married Catherine Shairp, with whom he had three children: Florence, Frank, and Emilia. Marryat's works were widely read during his lifetime, and his ability to capture the life of sailors and the intricacies of maritime life in his stories earned him a lasting legacy. He passed away on August 9, 1848, at the age of 56 in Norfolk, leaving behind a significant body of work that still resonates with readers today.
