Moonfleet : An Illustrated Edition with Author Biography, Summary and Character Guide
Overview
- Illustrated Edition: 20 evocative, high-quality illustrations
- Bonus Content: Concise summary, curated characters list, and a brief author biography
Moonfleet is a salt-sprayed classic of smuggling, secrets, and coming-of-age on the storm-lashed Dorset coast. When orphaned John Trenchard pries open a village legend-the lost diamond of Blackbeard Mohune-he tumbles into a shadow world of night runs, coded messages, and perilous loyalties. Guided (and sometimes endangered) by the formidable innkeeper Elzevir Block, John is hunted by a ruthless magistrate, tested by first love, and forced to choose between glittering fortune and the hard light of integrity.
This beautifully presented public-domain edition brings Meade Falkner's atmosphere to life with twenty striking illustrations that capture crypts and cliff paths, moonlit tides and high-sea chases. The added summary helps new readers jump in; a characters list keeps names and roles clear as the adventure quickens; and an author biography sets the tale in its historical moment-when a business titan by day wrote, by night, one of the great English adventures.
