G18 - Cradle of the Deep | Joan Lowell

When this was published in the 1920s, it was sold as a memoir of a girl raised at sea; it was later revealed to be a magnificent fabrication, which only makes it better. Lowell spins a yarn of spitting sailors, storms, and high-seas brutality that was too entertaining to be true. A masterpiece of confidence artistry that proves a good lie is often more enduring than a boring truth.
