Produktbeschreibung

After abandoning the family, Kate Bonnet sets out to find and reprimand her pirate father, Stede, who is being targeted by multiple figures including Blackbeard. She meets various people along her journey who help make the trek worth her while.

Kate Bonnet is the fictional daughter of the renowned pirate, Stede Bonnet. In Stockton's interpretation, she's a steadfast young woman whose father left the family to fend for themselves. Despite personal objections, Kate travels to find Stede and bring him back home. Throughout her venture, she encounters many people some of whom become traveling companions. She also crosses paths with a Naval officer who plans to capture Stede and barter his freedom for Kate's hand in marriage.

Kate Bonnet: The Romance of a Pirate's Daughter is an entertaining mix of historical fiction. Despite the title, the story is not a traditional romance. The heroine has agency and ideals that go beyond courtship and marriage. She's dedicated to her family and righting her father's many wrongs.

With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Kate Bonnet: The Romance of a Pirate's Daughter is both modern and readable.

Autorenporträt

Frank R. Stockton (1834-1902) was an American novelist and short story writer who became popular during the late nineteenth century. Born in Philadelphia to religious parents, writing wasn't viewed as a respectable or sustainable career. Despite objections, Stockton worked as a wood engraver before joining a local newspaper. He also worked at several magazines including Hearth and Home. Stockton became known for his children's stories such as Ting-a-Ling Tales (1870) and The Floating Prince (1881). His most famous title, The Lady, or the Tiger?, is often the lead entry in his short story collections.
