The Romance of the King's Navy
By EDWARD FRASER. New Edition, with Illustrations in Colour by N.
SOTHEBY PITCHER.
"The Romance of the King's Navy" is intended to give boys of to-day an idea of some of the notable events that have happened under the White Ensign within the past few years. There is no other book of the kind in existence. It begins with incidents afloat during the Crimean War, when their grandfathers were boys themselves, and brings the story down to a year or two ago, with the startling adventure at Spithead of Submarine 64. One chapter tells the exciting story of "How the Navy's V.C.'s have been won," the deeds of the various heroes being brought all together here in one connected narrative for the first time.
"Mr. Fraser knows his facts well, and has set them out in an extremely interesting and attractive way."--Westminster Gazette.
