Penguin presents the audio CD edition of Moonfleet by J. Meade Falkner, read by Royce Pierreson.
A tale of smuggling set among the cliffs, caves, and downs of Dorset.
Everyone in the tiny village of Moonfleet lives by the sea one way or another, so it's no surprise when young John Trenchard gets involved in the smuggling trade. Forced to flee England with a price on his head, John little guesses the adventures and trials he will have before he sees Moonfleet again or the change in his fortunes when he does.
