Moonfleet - Paperback

by J. Meade Falkner (Author)

1757 Orphan John Trenchard lives with his aunt in the little coastal town of Moonfleet in the South of England. On the surface the village seems a quiet and placid place, but beneath that calm mask is a world of intrigue and adventure. John is drawn into the village's darker side, a world of stolen jewels, a haunted family crypt and of ruthless smugglers. He is also drawn to the beautiful Grace... J. Meade Falkner's classic adventure has been adapted for the screen on numerous occasions and remains a firm favourite more than a hundred years after its first publication.
