MOONFLEET

John Trenchard's life in 1757 Dorset is drastically altered when he discovers a secret passage. It is said to have been the hiding place of the wondrous treasure hoarded by Captain Mohune—Blackbeard! This full-cast production enhances Falkner's swashbuckling tale. The addition of sound effects of the roiling boat and waves and the sounds of fear, terror, and bravery as John and his adopted father take to the sea add to the nonstop action. John's discovery of love and his realization that his father gave up his life for him take this story beyond TREASURE ISLAND. Finally, because of the well-done suggestions of eighteenth-century English, MOONFLEET is perfect as an audiobook. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2009]
