About this eBook

Author Jacobs, W. W. (William Wymark), 1863-1943
Title A Master Of Craft
Credits David Widger
Summary "A Master of Craft" by W. W. Jacobs is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of life aboard a schooner, focusing on the interactions and relationships among its characters, particularly a young woman named Poppy Tyrell and the ship's crew. The narrative is likely to explore themes of romance, adventure, and the complexities of human emotions and engagements. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Poppy Tyrell, who visits a ship named the Foam, seeking Captain Flower. Her encounter with Mr. Fraser, the mate, unfolds in a light-hearted dialogue filled with flirtation. As the evening progresses, Poppy's dynamic with Captain Flower, who is revealed to have romantic entanglements, creates tension. Meanwhile, the watchman's suspicion of supernatural happenings on the wharf and Captain Flower's mysterious behavior hint at deeper secrets and relationships yet to be uncovered. The opening sets the stage for a blend of comedy, intrigue, and a glimpse into maritime life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
