Arranged and adapted from the works of Frederick Marryat by Harold Jenner (President, Marryat Fellowship) and Gilbert Heron.
The Marryat Fellowship was formed about four years ago, and numbers among its members many people eminent in letters. The object of the Fellowship is to keep green the memory of one of our best Sea-Novelists.
The four episodes included in the programme are typical incidents from Marryat's 'Midshipman Easy', 'Peter Simple' and 'The King's Own', put into dramatic form for broadcasting by Gilbert Heron.
