A little about the story

A boy grows up on a desolate island with only a rough, bitter sailor for company, knowing nothing of the wider world. When a shipwreck brings new people to the island, his life changes completely.

Captain Frederick Marryat's last novel is a remarkable castaway story about growing up without civilisation.
