About this recording
A novel set in the late 1600s of swashbuckling pirates in the Caribbean combines historical fact with high-paced action-packed fiction. First published 1922, the novel has been adapted to film no less than six times. The plot follows the adventures of Dr Peter Blood, an Irish physician, as his life takes dramatic twists and turns—from a local doctor to a slave and then a pirate. After fighting the Spanish in Europe as a young man, Peter Blood settled in Somerset, to recover from his war wounds and open a medical practice. Unfortunately, he became entangled in the ill-fated 1685 Monmouth uprising against King James II.
