Frank T. Bullen is best known for his books based on his adventures at sea. However, he had a life on shore as well. He first went to sea as a boy as a cabin boy. He there had many adventures as a hand on a whaling ship. He then came ashore and tried his hand at being a "Tradesman". This is that story and also tells how he became the well-known author he is now. It is a very interesting, enjoyable and entertaining depiction of the trials and tribulations he had in his life in 19th century London as a tradesman. - Summary by Wayne Cooke (7 hr 53 min)

Great story. Great reader!

This is a very detailed story that brings the 19th century to life with the skill of a Mark Twain. What struck me most, however, was how little has changed in the way the system supports the elites and stomps on the already downtrodden. 😢
