Moonfleet

by John Meade Falkner
Moonfleet - Thryft
Moonfleet - Thryft

Smugglers, treasure hunts, and the bonds of friendship.

"Moonfleet" isn't just a youth's adventure tale, it's a dive into the depth of human relationships, sprinkled with action and mystery. The emotional growth of John Trenchard will resonate with you, as he navigates treacherous paths both physical and moral. Falkner's rich portrayal of Dorset and a bygone era makes this book a timeless journey and a lesson in loyalty and courage.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

"Moonfleet" (1898) begins as a mystery and an adventure story, a tale of smuggling set among the cliffs, caves, and downs of Dorset. What will be the outcome of the conflict between smugglers and revenue men? How can the hero, John Trenchard, discover the secret of Colonel John Mohune's treasure? As the book progresses these two interwoven themes resolve themselves into a third and richer one, with the friendship and suffering of both John Trenchard and the craggy, taciturn Elzevir Block. Falkner's feeling for history and for the landscape of his Dorset setting combine with his gift for storytelling to turn Moonfleet into a historical romance of moving intensity.
