As a reader who from an early age read Robinson Crusoe and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, I learned to enjoy sea stories. This collection draws sea stories from the finest authors over the ages including selections from authors I have read and enjoyed, including Homer, Richard Henry Dana, Jr., Joshua Slocum, Jack London, Joseph Conrad,Thor Heyerdahl, Melville, Poe, Hugo, and more. The breadth of the collection cannot be denied but I was most impressed by the quality of the selections. This is a compilation that I would recommend to all who love sea stories.
