Blackthorn Winter

by Douglas Wilson


Set on the eastern seaboard in the third year of the reign of good Queen Anne, this pirate novel contrasts righteous behaviour and foolishness. The story follows the service of fifteen-year-old Thomas Ingle on the Prudent Hannah under her honorable captain and then their unfortunate tour on the Lady Constance. Treasure, financial hardship, and pirate mystique all add to the cleverly woven tale.

Ages 8-12.
