Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Alan Villiers was born in Melbourne in 1903, and from boyhood he had an intense and overriding passion for the sea and sailing ships in particular, first sailing himself shortly after the end of the First World War in merchant barques between Australia and New Zealand. In 1921, after a lucky break won him a job as a journalist on the Hobart Mercury, he produced his first book based on his experience on a whaling expedition to the Antarctic, soon followed by his account of the voyage of the Herzogin Cecilie on its voyage from Australia to Great Britain. Over the next decades he sailed all over the world, including in his own ship the Joseph Conrad. His account of his trip around Saudi Arabia by dhow in 1938-9 has recently been reprinted by the National Maritime Museum, sumptuously illustrated with Villiers' own photographs of the trip from their archive. His career coincided with the end of sail, and in his twenty-nine books he captured for readers the passing of that romantic world that had drawn men to the sea for centuries, as well as the dangers that meant many never returned home. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. John Gow was a notorious pirate whose short career inspired many writers of the day, among them Sir Walter Scott and Daniel Defoe. Growing up in Stromness, Orkney, an important international port of the time, the lure of the sea was inescapable for many young men and Gow was no exception. Legend has it that he ran away to sea at an early age, but little is actually known about his life before the fateful trip from Amsterdam on board the Caroline. Dissatisfied with life as a humble sailor, the ambitious Gow led a mutiny, propelling him to the rank of Captain. After his exploits in France, Spain and Portugal, Gow retreated back to Orkney where he tried to resume a sedate life as a trader. But it was just a matter of time before temptation got the better of him and the authorities were to track him down . . . About the Author Daniel Defoe (c. 1659 - 24 April 1731), born Daniel Foe, was an English writer, journalist, and pamphleteer, who gained enduring fame for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest practitioners of the novel, as he helped to popularise the form in Britain, and is even referred to by some as one of the founders of the English novel. A prolific and versatile writer, he wrote more than five hundred books, pamphlets, and journals on various topics (including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology and the supernatural). The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
