Moonfleet

By: F. Exell, John Meade Falkner

Narrated by: Royce Pierreson

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Moonfleet by J. Meade Falkner, read by Royce Pierreson.

A tale of smuggling set among the cliffs, caves, and downs of Dorset.

Everyone in the tiny village of Moonfleet lives by the sea one way or another, so it's no surprise when young John Trenchard gets involved in the smuggling trade. Forced to flee England with a price on his head, John little guesses the adventures and trials he will have before he sees Moonfleet again or the change in his fortunes when he does.

A beautiful book, beautifully read

There was something about the readers timing and accent which matched the story perfectly. The story itself should be required reading (although that would likely ruin it). Good and evil, hope and despair, joy and sorrow; a book to be lived in, learnt from and thoroughly enjoyed.

Enjoyable!

Chose this book randomly due to a painting of the church in the story. Going to read more about it!

A very well story.

I have to say this is my favorite story growing up and it is well read. I don't need interesting sound effects that some audiobooks have. This book made me smile.

Royce Pierreson superb narration of a classic

This is a well written book, written in late Victorian times. Pierreson’s west country accents for his characters are good and I enjoyed this performance. I read moonfleet some forty years ago as an English lit O level book, it was good to revisit this work which I believe has stood the test of time.
