Moonfleet is set in a small Dorset village where smuggling is rife. The orphan John Trenchard is entranced by the local legend of the ghostly Blackbeard who rises each winter night in search of his lost diamond. Taken under the wing of the gruff innkeeper and chief smuggler, Elzevir Block, John begins an exciting and dangerous adventure. First published in 1898, this classic has stood the test of time and will be enjoyed by anyone wanting swashbuckling thrills.
