Book Description Paperback. Moonfleet is a tale of smuggling royal treasure and shipwreck 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. The year is 1757; the place is Moonfleet, a small village near the sea in the south of England. It gets its name from a formerly prominent local family, the Mohunes. Village legend tells of the notorious Colonel John "Blackbeard" Mohune who is buried in the family crypt under the church. He is reputed to have stolen a diamond from King Charles I and hidden it. His ghost wanders at night looking for it and the mysterious lights in the churchyard are attributed to his activities. 1991. A near fine copy only marked by light browning to the edge of the text block. Seller Inventory # 5985633
