[149]           Man of War in this context is not the painfully aggressive jellyfish. Mary uses ‘Man of War’ here to describe a powerful warship or frigate.

Physalia physalis should be avoided in the Atlantic Ocean, as well as in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Its sting is known to be very painful and even fatal.

What readers say?

Xaviera Hollander

("The Happy Hooker" and dozen more books):

We've been friends  for almost half a century and enjoyed several of each others' theatrical productions, so reading your memoir of Mrs. Gulliver is a wonderful surprise: so witty, subversive, and yet, arousing... it tickled my mind as well as inspired my G-spot. Highly recommended!
