Winston Churchill wrote this swashbuckling, patriotic tale of romance, villainy, and adventure on the high seas. Around the year 1765, young Richard Carvel, an orphaned descendant of English nobility, is living on his grandfather's estate in colonial Annapolis, Maryland. He witnesses growing discontent with King George III's rule and sees his childhood playmate, Dorothy Manners, blossom into a celebrated debutante. His life takes a turn when Richard's treacherous uncle Grafton plots to have him kidnapped by pirates bound for the West Indies in order to claim his inheritance.
