Beaufoy Milton

In the late 18th century a small English village is haunted by ghostly apparitions. Sir Timothy Hassall, accompanied by his friend Gideon Cole, investigate.

Angleterre, 1645. La cruelle guerre civile entre royalistes et parlementaires qui ravage le pays provoque une ère de chaos et d'arbitraire juridique qui permet à des hommes sans scrupules de tirer profit de l'exploitation des superstitions absurdes des paysans ; comme Matthew Hopkins, un monstre déguisé en homme qui erre de ville en ville en proposant ses services de chasseur de sorcières.

A comedy of mistaken identities aboard a cruise ship, in which several people are thrown together by the matrimonial magazine Get Together: Dick Holmes, a reporter looking for a story good enough to save his job; Betty Foster, hoping to investigate the man interested in marrying her aunt Emily; and Horace Godwin, the magazine's editor, who is trying to avoid becoming engaged to Penelope Hackworth-Pratt.

The story of a surly crew, an honest God-fearing captain, a hardboiled-but-loyal Scotch mate, a scoundrelly second-mate, and then a mutiny, the fight and the final voyage to a safe harbor. But not before the Captain has been murdered, his pretty daughter in peril, her rescue by the single passenger on board, and a member of the crew thrown overboard by another crew member.
