Synopsis "Moonfleet "

Moonfleet is a tale of smuggling by the English novelist J. Meade Falkner, first published in 1898. The book was extremely popular among children worldwide up until the 1970s, mostly for its themes of adventure and gripping storyline. It remains a popular story widely read and is still sometimes studied in schools.n 1757, Moonfleet is a small village near the sea in the south of England. It gets its name from a formerly prominent local family, the Mohunes, whose coat of arms includes a symbol shaped like a capital 'Y'. John Trenchard is an orphan who lives with his aunt, Miss Arnold. Other notable residents are the sexton Mr Ratsey, who is friendly to John; Parson Glennie, the local clergyman who also teaches in the village school; Elzevir Block, the landlord of the local inn, called the Mohune Arms but nicknamed the Why Not? because of its sign with the Mohune 'Y'; and Mr Maskew, the unpopular local magistrate and his beautiful daughter, Grace.

(Wiltshire, 1858 - Durham, 1932). Estudió en el Hertford College de Oxford, donde se licenció en Historia. Después de graduarse ejerció de maestro en la escuela de Derby, antes de ir a Newcastle para trabajar como tutor de los hijos de Sir Andrew Noble, director del Armstrong Whitworth Co., una de las mayores empresas armamentísticas del mundo a finales de siglo, que se convertiría en estratégica durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Aunque los principales intereses del joven Falkner eran la poesía, la arquitectura y la heráldica, su patrón le ofreció un cargo relevante en la empresa, por el que tuvo que recorrer medio mundo. Tras retirarse de los negocios en 1921, fue lector honorario de Paleografía de la Universidad de Durham y bibliotecario honorario de la catedral. Aparte de las tres novelas que escribió, también publicó varias guías topográficas y una historia de Oxfordshire.
