Book Description
If you like the novels of Frederick Marryat you'll love Edward Howard's Rattlin, the Reefer. Rattlin, the Reefer was edited by Frederick Marryat for his friend and fellow captain Edward Howard. For several generations, however, people thought it was actually written by Marryat because it was that good. Like many of Marryat's books, this book is thought to be autobiographical; although this was never specifically confirmed by Captain Howard himself. However, from the main character's early schooling, to his life as a midshipman, to his experiences aboard ship, there is nothing in this book that could not have happened to a young man in the early 1800's. As such it gives us a wonderful insight into that period. Ralph Rattlin tells his life story with a kind of off-hand humor that is truly engaging. The story's accuracy to nautical detail is total-it could hardly be otherwise with someone like Frederick Marryat as the editor-and the scenes are crisp and vivid. While almost unknown to modern audiences, Edward Howard's writing has been favorably compared to that of Tobias Smollett and Herman Melville. If you enjoy those writers-and especially if you love the works of Frederick Marryat-you'll love Edward Howard's Rattlin, the Reefer

Book Description
First of all Rattlin the Reefer is a luxurious feast of words. ..".for the rain is thrashing the streets till they actually look white, and the kennel before us is swelled into a formidable, and hardly fordable brook. That kennel is the stream of life - and a dirty and a weary one it is, if we may judge by the old gentleman's looks. All is hurried into that common sewer, the grave! What bubbles float down it! Everything that is fairly in the middle of the stream seems to sail with it, steadily and triumphantly - and many a filthy fragment enters the sewer with a pomp and dignity not unlike the funeral obsequies of a great lord" Life of an individual is but a soap bubble. All the heroic deeds are gorgeously burlesque and all the exotic adventures and misadventures are grotesquely farcical. If this novel were written these days it would be called postmodern.
