Clearly, I'll also have to look out for Captain Blood too! (Among several projects, I've started writing a pirate novel tentatively entitled Dark Endeavour, and I think it will be fun; the research is interesting too!) Thanks for that, Ray.Nik Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10060923673065456386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633265628054619928.post-22926462492522975302009-04-18T11:58:00.000+01:002009-04-18T11:58:00.000+01:00Captain Blood was one of my mother's favorite film...Captain Blood was one of my mother's favorite films (big Flynnn fan) and I've seen it many times.

I'd already decided to read Treasure Island (for the first time) this summer as part of my summer reading schedule. I'm adding Captain Blood to the list since, as you write, it's THE best.
