About the Author
Sam Jefferson is a journalist and maritime historian, and is one of the leading authorities on the clipper ship era.

He is the author of Clipper Ships and the Golden Age of Sail, published by Adlard Coles Nautical.
Review
Jefferson is an entertaining storyteller in his own right, which directs the book's scope towards a continuation of the tradition of 'spinning yarns' that he admires in his subjects. * Sea History magazine (US) * Direct and punchy prose cuts to the heart of each subject and opens a window into the reality behind these famous works of fiction. * Soundings (US) * The true adventures of some of these writers were often more exciting than the fiction. * Daily Mail *

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. How did a big-game fishing trip rudely interrupted by sharks inspire one of the key scenes in Hemingways The Old Man and the Sea? How did Robert Louis Stevensons cruise to the cannibal-infested South Sea islands prove instrumental in his writing of The Beach of Falesa and The Ebb Tide? How did Masefield survive Cape Horn and a near-nervous breakdown to write Sea Fever? The waters of this world have swirled through storytelling ever since the Celts spun the tale of Beowulf and Homer narrated The Odyssey. This enthralling book takes us on a tour of the most dangerous, exciting and often eccentric escapades of literatures sailing stars, and how these true stories inspired and informed their best-loved works. Arthur Ransome, Erskine Childers, Jack London and many others are featured as we find out how extraordinary fact fed into unforgettable fiction. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR007826300
