About the book

Young Alexander Nairn's adventures in the Caribbean make a spectacular and original story. To describe it s a rattling good yarn restores the original value to the cliche, but also undervalues a remarkable book.

So let it be said, with surprise and delight, that the 18th century novel is alive and well, full of surprises and rewards for today's reader.
