Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.
John Edward Masefield was an English poet and writer who served as Poet Laureate from 1930 to 1967. Among his best-known works are the children's novels The Midnight Folk and The Box of Delights, as well as the poems "The Everlasting Mercy" and "Sea-Fever". Masefield was born in Ledbury, Herefordshire, to solicitor George Masefield and wife Caroline. He was baptized in Preston Cross Church, located just outside of Ledbury. When Masefield was six years old, his mother died while giving birth to his sister, so he moved in with his aunt. His father died soon after from a mental breakdown. After an unsatisfactory schooling at the King's School in Warwick, where he boarded from 1888 to 1891, he departed to board HMS Conway, both to prepare for a life at sea and to overcome his reading addiction, which his aunt thought little of. He spent several years on this ship and discovered that he could spend a lot of his time reading and writing. Masefield developed a passion for storytelling while onboard the Conway. While on the ship, he listened to stories about maritime lore, read more, and decided that he wanted to be a writer and storyteller. Masefield describes life on the Conway in his novel New Chum.
