E-text prepared by Al Haines
"Sea-dogs All! A Tale of Forest and Sea" by Tom Bevan is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of England's reign under Queen Elizabeth I, the story intertwines themes of loyalty, treachery, and adventure. The narrative opens with a stormy scene introducing a mysterious man in black, suggesting elements of intrigue and conflict surrounding the plot against the Queen and her loyal followers, including characters like Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh. The beginning of the novel establishes a tense atmosphere with vivid descriptions of the tempest impacting the village of Gatcombe and its river, highlighting the natural forces at play. The man in black, who appears to be a figure of ominous intent, watches the destruction and seems to be involved in a sinister plot against Admiral Drake, who is introduced shortly after along with the loyal and brave young forester, Johnnie Morgan. The narrative quickly unfolds the dialogues of conspiracy and plotting against the backdrop of national loyalty and personal rivalries, laying the foundation for a gripping tale of espionage and heroism in the face of treachery.
