The Dark Frigate

Gelesen von Kathrine Engan

(4,491 Sterne; 56 Bewertungen)

The frigate Rose of Devon rescues from a wreck in mid-ocean twelve men who show their gratitude by seizing the Rose, killing her captain and sailing toward the Caribbean where they hope to plunder Spanish towns and galleons. Mistaking an English man-of-war for a merchantman, they are captured and brought back to England for trial. Only one, an English lad, Philip Marsham, a member of the original crew of the Rose, is acquitted; and he, after adventures in the forces of King Charles, tires of Cromwell's England and sails for Barbados once more on the Rose of Devon.

The Dark Frigate has long been a favorite story for boys and in 1924 was awarded the John Newbery Medal, given annually "for the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children."

When The Dark Frigate was first published F. F. Van deWater in The New York Tribune said: "No one, we think, has written so perfect a pirate tale since Treasure Island." (from the dustjacket of the first edition) (7 hr 23 min)

Great story

(5 Sterne)

Such a great story. I love the main character Phil.. Katherine does a fantastic job of bringing this book to life. thank you!

COULD LEAD TO A SEQUEL

(5 Sterne)

A pleasant story, but not scintillating. The pirate portion seemed a bit disjointed. but was still entertaining. the reader did well. except for one thing: she kept reading a word as "yea," but it seemed to call for "aye.". Perhaps she (or even the author) is not familiar with that nautical term and it's pronunciation.

(5 Sterne)

A lovely story! It’s a bit tame but beautifully written and narrated perfectly.

This is reader has a Scottish lilt to her voice!
