About this Item

An early edition of this nautical novel set during the Napoleonic wars by Captain Marryat, an early pioneer of nautical fiction. An early Paris edition of this novel in a quarter calf binding. Peter Simple is an 1834 novel written by Captain Frederick Marryat (1792-1848), about a young British midshipman during the Napoleonic wars. It was originally published in serialized form in 1833. Marryat was a Royal Navy officer, a novelist, and an acquaintance of Charles Dickens. He is noted today as an early pioneer of nautical fiction, and particularly for his semi-autobiographical novel Mr Midshipman Easy (1836). In a quarter calf binding. Externally sound, though rubbed to the spine and bumped to the boards and extremities. Front hinge is splitting but still reasonably firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally clean with the odd spot. Good. Seller Inventory # 846M1
