Synopsis

In "The Ocean Wireless Boys on War Swept Seas," John Henry Goldfrap crafts an exhilarating maritime adventure that intertwines themes of bravery, camaraderie, and technological innovation against the backdrop of World War I. Written in a style characteristic of early 20th-century juvenile fiction, the narrative is rich with spirited dialogue and vivid descriptions that capture both the terror of war and the thrill of oceanic exploration. Goldfrap'Äôs adept handling of the wireless communication technology of the era provides a compelling lens through which young readers can engage with the historical context of naval warfare and its transformative impact on communication. John Henry Goldfrap, an author of boys' adventure tales, was influenced by the technological advancements and nationalistic fervor during his time. His own life experiences, combined with a passion for telling tales of heroism at sea, led him to create this work as both an action-packed narrative and an educational adventure for young readers. His knack for blending fact with fiction not only entertains but also informs readers about the significant role of maritime forces during the Great War. This book is highly recommended for young readers seeking both excitement and insight into history. Goldfrap'Äôs engaging storytelling and rich thematic elements make "The Ocean Wireless Boys on War Swept Seas" an essential addition to the library of any young adventurer or history buff, offering a timeless exploration of bravery in the face of adversity.

    Barry Eric Odell Pain was born at 3 Sydney Street in Cambridge on 28th September 1864. He was one of 4 children. 
    He was educated at Sedbergh School and then Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. 
    In 1889, Cornhill Magazine published his short story ‘The Hundred Gates’.  This opened the way for Pain to advance his literary career on several fronts. He became a contributor to Punch and The Speaker, as well as joining the staff of both the Daily Chronicle and Black and White.  
    Pain was also a noted and prominent contributor to The Granta and from 1896 to 1928 a regular contributor to the Windsor Magazine. 
    It is often said that Pain was discovered by Robert Louis Stevenson, who compared his work to that of Guy de Maupassant.  It’s an apt comparison. Pain was a master of disturbing prose but was also able to inject parody and light comedy into many of his works.  A simple premise could in his hands suddenly expand into a world very real but somehow emotionally fraught and on the very edge of darkness. 
    Barry Pain died on 5th May 1928 in Bushey, Hertfordshire.

    ‘Retribution’ begins in 1620. A grieving Isaac Stanfield heads out across the Atlantic Ocean. 
    After the Mayflower sails for the new world, Isaac has been sent to explore the potential for trade and further settlements in New England. His efforts are frustrated by the incompetence and duplicity of the people with whom he has to deal. This second book in the Stanfield Chronicles series continues with Isaac’s love of adventure, his courage, and ingenuity being fully tested, his fascination with and respect for the native peoples he meets. 
    Isaac’s life consists of blue water sailing adventures, kidnapping, smuggling, pirates, torture and romance, on two continents, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. A life lived on the edge while he attempts to protect those he loves. 
    The story is captivating, the research meticulous. A book to be bought and enjoyed. It is an excellent read.
