England, 1757...Moonfleet. A village with a secret. An orphan lad with a dream. A band of wily smugglers. A legend of lost treasure. When young John Trenchard discovers a long-lost crypt, he finds cryptic Bible verses inserted into an old locket. This chance discovery leads to a quest for a legendary jewel, swashbuckling action, and an experience that will change John's life forever. This classic of adventure fiction has long been in the public domain and is available for free in many ebook editions. This print version is for those who enjoy the feel of a physical book in their hands, and who love a rip-roaring adventure in the style of Robert Louis Stevenson and Talbot Mundy.

From the Back Cover:
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. The novel is at once a well-paced account of dramatic action and a celebration of the unregainable freedoms of childhood, when, as Falkner's sister wrote in a memoir, 'there are no seasons, everything happens all the year round'. 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.
About the Author:
