These Straggling, Excited Groups Were Mainly Composed Of Men With Green Boughs In Their Hats And The Most Ludicrous Of Weapons In Their Hands. Some, It Is True, Shouldered Fowling Pieces, And Here And There A Sword Was Brandished; But More Of Them Were Armed With Clubs, And Most Of Them Trailed The Mammoth Pikes Fashioned Out Of Scythes, As Formidable To The Eye As They Were Clumsy To The Hand. There Were Weavers, Brewers, Carpenters, Smiths, Masons, Bricklayers, Cobblers, And Representatives Of Every Other Of The Trades Of Peace Among These Improvised Men Of War. Bridgewater, Like Taunton, Had Yielded So Generously Of Its Manhood To The Service Of The Bastard Duke That For Any To Abstain Whose Age And Strength Admitted Of His Bearing Arms Was To Brand Himself A Coward Or A Papist...FROM THE BOOKS.

Dr Peter Blood has put his soldiering past behind him. He is happy tending his geraniums and his patients in a quiet English town. But a moment of mercy sees him sent to be a slave in Barbados - and puts him on the path to becoming a fearsome pirate captain. In this swashbuckling, globe-spanning adventure, Blood is caught up in the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion and saves the life of one of the rebels. Notorious "hanging judge" Jeffreys sentences him to 10 years as a slave. There, he falls in love with the daughter of the man who owns him. But he risks it all by stealing a Spanish ship that attacked the town and then sailing off to form a band of pirates. The glory of the high seas and the sound of clashing swords thrills Captain Blood. All of the time, he yearns to be with the woman he loves - who refuses to be with a thief and a pirate. It looks hopeless. But there may just be a chance... 'Captain Blood' was made into a 1935 film starring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, and Basil Rathbone, who later played 'Sherlock Holmes'. For fans of 'King Solomon's Mines' by H. Rider Haggard and 'The Black Arrow' by Robert Louis Stevenson. Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950) was an Italian-English writer, known for his romance and adventure novels. He wrote 34 novels, eight short story collections, six non-fiction books and several plays. He wrote short stories at first, before publishing his first novel in 1902. However, literary success did not arrive until the publication of 'Scaramouche' in 1921. His other most famous works were the novels 'The Sea Hawk', 'Captain Blood' and 'Bellarion the Fortunate'. Sabatini spoke six languages, but chose to write in English because "all the best stories are written in English".

The lead is the sharp-witted Dr. Peter Blood, a fictional Irish doctor who had had a wide-ranging profession as a soldier and sailor (including a function as a captain under the Dutch admiral De Ruyter) before plunging down to practice human medicine in the municipality of Bridgwater in Somerset. The book starts with him attending to his geraniums while the town arms to fight for the Duke of Monmouth. He desires no part in the rebellion, but while tending to some of the rebels injured at the Battle of Sedgemoor, he is imprisoned. During the Bloody Assizes, and convicted by the notorious Judge Jeffreys of treason on the grounds that "if any person be in actual rebellion against the King, and another person-who really and actually was not in rebellion-does knowingly receive, harbour, comfort, or succour him, such a person is as much a traitor as he who indeed bore arms." The punishment for treason is death by hanging, but King James II, for purely financial reasons, has the conviction for Blood and other sentenced rebels commuted to transportation to the Caribbean, where they are to be sold into slavery. On arrival on the island of Barbados, Blood is bought by Colonel Bishop, initially for labor in the Colonel's sugar plantations but later contracted out by Bishop when Blood's skills as a doctor prove superior to those of the local physicians. Through his period of slavery, Blood becomes friendly with Arabella Bishop, Colonel Bishop's niece, who becomes compassionate after learning his history. When a Spanish army attacks and raids the town of Bridgetown, Blood escapes with other convict-slaves, seizes the Spaniards' ship and sails away to become one of the most successful pirates of the Caribbean, despised and feared by the Spanish and English ships. The Colonel Bishop, humiliated by Blood's departure and by Blood himself, dedicates himself to capturing Blood with the goal of hanging him. After the Noble Revolution, Blood is pardoned. As a recompense for saving the possession of Jamaica from a French assault, he is named its governor in replacement of Colonel Bishop, who had deserted his post to hunt for Blood, and the novel ends with the indication that Blood will not only marry Colonel Bishop's niece Arabella but will also allow Bishop off easy.
