Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Money Island" by Andrew Jackson Howell is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around a tale of buried treasure hidden on Money Island, off the North Carolina coast, during the time of pirates. The book combines elements of adventure and folklore, exploring themes of legacy, treasure hunting, and the passage of time. The story is primarily narrated by Mr. Jonathan Landstone, who recounts the experiences of his grandfather, Captain John Redfield, associated with the infamous pirate Captain Kidd. The plot unfolds as Captain Kidd entrusts Redfield with the task of hiding treasure on Money Island, setting off a chain of events involving loyalty, betrayal, and ultimately, a search for the buried gold that draws young adventurers in the present day. The narrative juxtaposes the historical backdrop of piracy with the thrill of treasure hunting as two boys, intrigued by a mystery dating back generations, find themselves embroiled in a hunt for the legendary treasure, facing both physical challenges and moral dilemmas along the way.
