The Classic Guide to Sailing

About the author

Edward Frederick (E.F.) Knight (23 April 1852 - 3 July 1925) was an English barrister, soldier, journalist, and author of 20 books, many based on his dispatches as a war correspondent. He was an influence on children's author Arthur Ransome, who used Knight's book Sailing to teach himself how to sail; and in the Swallows and Amazons series as a resource for his fictional characters, who often refer to Knight on Sailing. He died in 1925.
