Frank Thomas Bullen (1857–1915), British author and novelist, was born of poor parents in Paddington, London, on 5 April 1857, and was educated for a few years at a dame school and Westbourne school, Paddington. At the age of 9 he left school and took up work as an errand boy. In 1869 he went to sea and travelled to all parts of the world in various capacities including that of second mate of the ''Harbinger'' and chief mate of the ''Day Dawn'', under Capt. J. R. H. Ward jun. In 1883 he became a clerk in the Meteorological Office until 1889. His reputation was made over the publication of ''The Cruise of the "Cachelot"'' (1898); and he also wrote, amongst other books, ''Idylls of the Sea'' (1899); ''Sea Wrack'' (1903); ''The Call of the Deep'' (1907) and ''A Compleat Sea Cook'' (1912), besides many articles and essays.

He died at Madeira on 1 March 1915. == Bibliography == * The Cruise of the "Cachalot": Round the World After Sperm Whales, 1898 * The Log of a Sea-Waif, 1899 * Idylls of the Sea, 1899 * With Christ At Sea, 1900 * Sea Wrack, 1903 * The Call of the Deep, 1907 * Beyond, 1909 * A Compleat Sea Cook, 1912 * Deep Sea Plunderings, 1901 * A Sack of Shakings, 1901 * A Whaleman's Wife, 1902 * A Bounty Boy: Being Some Adventures of a Christian Barbarian on an unpremeditated Trip Round the World, 1907 * Songs of Sea Labour, 1914 *Stories of Whales & Other Sea Creatures *The Men of the Merchant Service *Back to Sunny Seas *Frank Brown Sea Apprentice *Denizens of the Deep *The Apostles of the Southeast *The Way they Have In the Navy *A Son of the Sea *Advance Australia *Confessions of a Tradesman *The Seed of the Righteous *Our Heritage the Sea *The Biter South *The Salvage of a Sailor *The Pirate Hunter *Young Nemisis *Sea Spray *Apostles South East Sea *Sea Puritans *The Way of A Ship *Songs of Sea Labour 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frank Thomas Bullen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
