He is best known for his semi-autobiographical work 'Mr. Midshipman Easy' (1836) and for his children's novel 'The Children of the New Forest' (1847). Marryat's literary career was marked by a narrative style that vividly captured the life of sailors and the drama of the sea, which were largely drawn from his own experiences at sea. This authenticity endeared his works to the public and to fellow writers alike.
