Puffin Classics: the definitive collection of timeless stories, for every child

Rediscover the Puffin Classics collection and bring the best-loved classics to a new generation - including this epic edition of Moonfleet.

Everyone in the tiny village of Moonfleet lives by the sea one way or another, so it's no surprise when young John Trenchard gets involved in the smuggling trade. Forced to flee England with a price on his head, John little guesses the adventures and trials he will have before he sees Moonfleet again or the change in his fortunes when he does.

John Meade Falkner (1858-1932) was an English novelist and poet, best known for his 1898 novel, Moonfleet. As well as an author, Falkner was a successful businessman who travelled widely, using the trips around the world to explore his lifelong love of learning – and strike up a friendship with the Pope!
