THE DARK FRIGATE—Winner of the Newbery Medal.
In seventeenth-century England, a terrible accident forces orphaned Philip Marsham to flee London in fear for his life. Bred to the sea, he signs on with the Rose of Devon, a dark frigate bound for the quiet shores of Newfoundland. Philip’s bold spirit and knowledge of the sea soon win him his captain’s regard. But when the Rose of Devon is seized in midocean by a devious group of men plucked from a floating wreck, Philip is forced to accompany these “gentlemen of fortune” on their murderous expeditions. Like it or not, Philip Marsham is now a pirate—with only the hangman awaiting his return to England.
With its bloody battles, brutal buccaneers, and bold, spirited hero, this rousing tale will enthrall readers in search of seafaring adventure.
“No one, we think, has written so perfect a pirate tale since Treasure Island”—New York Herald Tribune

Om författaren
Charles Boardman Hawes (1889-1923) was an American writer of fiction and nonfiction sea stories, best known for three historical novels. He died suddenly at age 34, after only two of his five books had been published. He was the first U.S.-born winner of the annual Newbery Medal, recognizing his third novel The Dark Frigate (1923) as the year’s best American children’s book.
Reviewing the Hawes Memorial Prize Contest in 1925, The New York Times observed that “his adventure stories of the sea caused him to be compared with Stevenson, Dana and Melville”.
