Idylls of the Sea, and Other Marine Sketches
Frank Thomas Bullen and John St. Loe Strachey
Life at sea breeds its own strange beauty and sudden danger. Frank Bullen gathers his marine sketches, from a true shark story to the cruise of the Daisy and long watches in the crow's nest. Salt-stained storytelling from a sailor who knew the ocean firsthand. For the reader drawn to the sea, its creatures, and the men who worked it. Cast off into these ocean tales.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
