Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Isle o' Dreams" by Frederick Ferdinand Moore is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the exotic setting of Manila, capturing the adventures of Robert Trask, who arrives in the city with intentions of meeting the Lockes, a wealthy family he has a connection with. The narrative hints at themes of hunting for treasure and the complexities of relationships, particularly as Trask's feelings for Marjorie Locke emerge." "The opening of the book establishes Robert Trask's arrival in Manila and his immediate disappointment in missing the Lockes, whom he is eager to see. Through his interactions with Wilkins, a hotel clerk, and the mention of Captain Dinshaw, an eccentric sailor with tales of a golden island, we see Trask’s curiosity ignite. As the plot thickens, the old sailor recounts his life experiences, primarily focused on a mysterious island filled with gold, creating a backdrop for Trask's budding adventure that intertwines his personal yearning for connection with his aspirations for discovery."
