Locke's Island is the first book of memoirs written by master Tom Sherwood Locke of Bristol. A story about the ability to survive, hard work, honesty, and perseverance in dangerous situations. A story about a noble attitude towards a woman, true friendship, about choosing the right path in life. Tom was left without parents early on. Having learned from skilled people the secrets of their craft, he earns his own small capital and goes traveling. However, his curious nose sticks into such matters that he is forced to confront either powerful swindlers and villains, or bloodthirsty pirates. Hired killers follow his trail more than once. Tom is saved only by the fact that on his way he meets extraordinary people - kind, brave, who become reliable and devoted friends. Tom Sherwood's books, like Stevenson's Treasure Island, are interesting to romantics of all ages. They are for those who dream of looking into inaccessible corners of the vast world and going along with the heroes through all their incredible adventures.
