About This Book

TRIALS OF THE HANDSOME SAILOR Aboard the warship Bellipotent, the young orphan Billy Budd was called the Handsome Sailor. Billy was tall, athletic, noble looking; he was friendly, innocent, helpful and ever-cheerful. He was a fierce fighter and a loyal friend. All the men and officers liked him... All but one: Master-at-Arms Claggart. Envious, petty Claggart plotted to make Billy's life miserable. But when a fear of mutinies swept through the fleet, Claggart realized he could do more than just torment the Handsome Sailor... He could frame Billy Budd for treason... ---------- Also contained in: - [Scarlet Letter / Adventures of Huckleberry Finn / Red Badge of Courage / Billy Budd](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL14876179W) - [Benito Cereno / Bartleby, the Scrivener / Encantadas / Billy Budd](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL102717W/Shorter_Novels_of_Herman_Melville) - [Billy Budd and Other Prose Pieces](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL14953542W) - [Billy Budd, Sailor & Other Stories][1] - [Billy Budd and Other Tales][2] - [Billy Budd, Sailor and Other Stories][3] - [Billy Budd and other stories][4] - [Billy Budd, Sailor and Selected Tales][5] - [Complete Shorter Fiction](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL14953744W/The_Complete_Shorter_Fiction) - [Five Tales](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL102651W/Five_Tales) - [Four Great American Novels](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL7440070W/Four_Great_American_Novels) - [Great Short Works of Herman Melville](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL102653W/Great_Short_Works_of_Herman_Melville) - [Moby Dick / Billy Budd](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL18173298W/Moby_Dick_Billy_Budd) - [Novels.
