The Little Savage is a novel written by Captain Frederick Marryat. The story revolves around a young boy named Peterkin, who is shipwrecked on a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean. Peterkin is the only survivor of the shipwreck and has to fend for himself on the island. He is initially scared and lonely, but he soon learns to adapt to his new environment and becomes a skilled hunter and fisherman. One day, Peterkin discovers another survivor on the island, a young native girl named Kory-Kory. Despite the language barrier, the two become close friends and share their experiences of living on the island. However, their peaceful existence is threatened when a group of cannibals arrive on the island. Peterkin and Kory-Kory must work together to survive and outsmart the cannibals. Throughout the novel, Marryat explores themes of survival, friendship, and cultural differences. The Little Savage is a classic adventure novel that has captivated readers for generations.I was now, by Jackson's account, nearly fourteen years old. During fourteen years but one vessel had been seen by us. It might be fourteen more, or double that time might elapse, before I should again fall in with any of my fellow-creatures. As these thoughts saddened me, I felt how much I would nave sacrificed if Jackson had remained alive, were it only for his company; I would have forgiven him anything. I even then felt as if, in the murderer of my father, I had lost a friend.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
