Most books in the adventure travel genre spend less than a chapter explaining "what came before." This book, however, is not like most. River Angels takes readers behind the scenes for a...

A Nautical Story Writer: The Life and Works of Matthew Henry Barker, 'The Old Sailor'
ISBN: 9781845198398 / Angielski / Miękka / 498 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The fictional nautical story was extremely popular in the period stretching from the mid 1820s to about 1850.

Although several biographies of Marryat have been published, very little relating to Barker's life...
