| Summary, etc. | "The story of Nelson" by Edmund Francis Sellar is a children's historical biography written in the early 20th century. It presents the life and character of Admiral Horatio Nelson, tracing his rise from sickly Norfolk boy to Britain’s iconic naval leader, with emphasis on courage, duty, and seamanship. Aimed at young readers, it highlights his major campaigns and battles while celebrating the ideals of honour and leadership at sea.<br/><br/>The opening of this book follows Nelson from his boyhood at Burnham Thorpe—fearless, honour-bound, and eager for the sea—through hardening early service as a merchant seaman, Arctic adventurer, East Indies midshipman, and rising Royal Navy officer. It sketches formative episodes (the polar bear chase, cool pilotage in Boston Bay, rescuing a man overboard while under Spanish pursuit) and then moves briskly through wartime exploits: Corsica (losing the sight of one eye), the daring initiative at St. Vincent with his famous boarding of two Spanish ships, the failed attack at Santa Cruz that cost him an arm, and the resounding victory at the Nile. It covers his rescue of the Neapolitan royal family, his stern handling of rebellion at Naples, and his tact and audacity at Copenhagen, where he “turned a blind eye” to an order to cease action. It then shifts to Britain’s coastal defense against Napoleon’s threatened invasion and Nelson’s brief peacetime at Merton before war resumes. The section closes with him in chief command in the Mediterranean, maintaining a relentless watch off Toulon, protecting British interests amid delicate diplomacy, and rebutting a French admiral’s boast—setting the stage for the campaigns to come.
