Publisher Description
1792. Keen to escape a stifling home life and explore the world, Sim Roberts joins the Royal Navy. Jolly Jack Tar doesn't know what to make of a nice 14-year-old of the middling classes. And the feeling is mutual. Then the war begins…
Admiral Lord Nelson is revered by his men. As the only seaman to serve in Nelson's ship for every one of his four great Fleet Actions, Sim knows exactly why.
This adventure follows Sim's progress from dazed and confused Landsman to respected Bosun's Mate across 14 epic years of the war against France, culminating at Trafalgar.
Customer Reviews
What a book!
Nelson Confides is a marvellous tale and well worth reading. The characters are genuine and the plot keeps one moving along smartly. I was sad when it ended but thrilled with the ending. It is a treasure.
