About This Book
A young Cornish boy from a family branded traitors copes with communal scorn after his ancestral manor is taken. Guided by a sympathetic parson, he resolves to redeem his name and embarks on a sequence of rural adventures that mix schoolroom scenes, local sports, smuggling encounters, sea voyages, and daring rescues. Conflicts with a hostile squire and various local villains test his courage and resourcefulness, while hidden loyalties and discovered secrets complicate loyalties and motives. The narrative follows his struggles and small triumphs as community tensions are confronted and personal vindication moves toward resolution amid seasonal gatherings and reckonings.
