Smugglers’ Wight (Wight Histories Book 2) (English Edition)

One of three parallel stories of the C17th Isle of Wight - 'Frontier Wight', 'Smugglers' Wight' and 'Wight Orphans'. Smugglers' Wight is the fictional account of the nefarious activities of The Blacke Gang. In pursuing his ‘destiny’, a twelve year-old boy, with a slave and a rebel, instigates a gang war and facilitates the Glorious Revolution. The story begins with the ship-wreck of a corsair xebec at St Katherines Point on the Isle of Wight, and culminates in the triumph of William and Mary.
