Patsy

Exciting tale of steadfast love and bold adventure among Scottish smugglers during the regency.


A lively, saucy person is Patsy, one of the best girl characters Mr. Crockett has ever depicted. She is the central figure in this new Galloway romance in which smuggling and Patsy's abduction and recapture by a royal prince and all the other good things synonymous with Mr. Crockett's name have a part. While the book is one of historical adventure, the love interest is paramount throughout. The time of the story is just one hundred years ago, when the country in which the scene is laid was in universal revolt against the brutal system of compulsory enlistment, and bands were being formed to fight the manhunters, and smuggling was in full blast along the shores of Solway.
