The Grove of Eagles Author:Winston Graham "Ordinarily, I do not much care for historical novels. But this one is an exception. Mr Graham has such a knowledge of Elizabethan Cornwall, such fidelity to both fact and atmosphere, that I am conquered, as no doubt his many readers will be. Killigrews and Godolphins, Ralegh and Essex, the Queen in Council, all come alive in these vivid, well-i... more »magined pages; with all the excitement and adventure, the capture of Cadiz, the second Armada, piracy in Falmouth harbour, the stormy wester seas." - A.L.
