The Master: An Adventure Story is a 1957 science fiction adventure novel by English author T. H. White.
It involves two children, Judy and Nicky, and their dog Jokey, who are stranded on Rockall, an extremely small, uninhabited, remote rocky islet in the North Atlantic Ocean. They find that it is hollow and inhabited by a mysterious person who aims to take over the world.
Like White's better-known work, The Once and Future King (1958), The Master deals with moral questions of killing, war and peace, and response to evil.
" Dr. Moreau," Mr. Frinton went on, "was experimenting on his island and the Iron Pirate was at sea and She was living her immortal life in Africa when the Master was about ninety. Stevenson wrote Treasure Island when he was eighty-four. Captain Nemo was sailing in the Nautilus when he was seventy. Henry Russell Wallace [sic] thought of the origin of species when he was around sixty. Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein when he was coming of age, and at the battle of Waterloo he was four years older than you are.: [1]
In 1966, Southern Television made a six-part television dramatisation starring Adrienne Posta and Paul Guess, with Olaf Pooley as the Master.
