Although he
was known early in his writing career for adult novels, drawing on
his experiences at sea, he is perhaps best remembered for his
books for children, including Masterman Ready and Children of the New
Forest.
Marryat was also fascinated with Gothic horror and the result was
Snarleyyow, or
The Dog fiend
(1836) and The
Phantom Ship
(1839). The werewolf episode from The Phantom Ship
is sometimes
reprinted as "The White Wolf of the Hartz Mountains".
