Description

Frenchman's Creek, set in 17th-century England, is an absorbing tale of danger, passion, and swashbuckling action. Lady St. Columb, bored with fashionable life at Court, sets off for the peace and freedom of her husband's Cornwall estate. Her plan is thwarted when she stumbles upon the mooring place of the white-sailed ship belonging to the daring Frenchman who plunders the shores of Cornwall. It is only a question of time before this philosopher-pirate captures the heart of the lovely Lady St. Columb. John Castle's reading expertly conveys the intrigue and romance of this rich tale. A Cover to Cover Unabridged Classic.

Daphne du Maurier (1907-1989) wrote many bestselling novels including Rebecca, My Cousin Rachel, and Jamaica Inn, all of which have been adapted to film. She was born in London and was educated at home and in Paris. Disliking town life, she lived in Cornwall, which became the setting for many of her most successful books.

John Castle trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and has performed on the London stage. His film and television credits include The Lion in Winter, Man of La Mancha, and Eagle's Wing.
