About the Author
Nicholas Monsarrat was born in Liverpool and educated at Cambridge University, where he studied law. His career as a solicitor encountered a swift end when he decided to leave Liverpool for London, with a half-finished manuscript under his arm and only forty pounds in his pocket. His first book to attract attention was the largely autobiographical This is the Schoolroom, which was concerned with the turbulent thirties, and a student at Cambridge who goes off to fight against the fascists in Spain only to discover that life itself is the real schoolroom. During World War II he joined the Royal Navy and served in corvettes. His war experiences provided the framework for the novel HMS Marlborough Will Enter Harbour and The Cruel Sea. His career concluded with The Master Mariner, a historical novel of epic proportions. Well known for his concise storytelling and tense narrative on a wide range of subjects, he became one of the most successful novelists of the twentieth century.
