William's plays fuel Hopewell's fantasies of love, glamour and fortune beyond the confines of London; he joins the crew of a notorious buccaneer, Captain Richard Wolfe whose ship the Golden Dragon is embarking on a search for the legendary Lost Island ruled by the Lord of Alchemists. But Hopewell is soon uneasy with the second mate Davy Jones and the waif-like ship's boy Kit Sly, and is beset with strange visions of a beautiful woman and predictions of a White Ship. When the Golden Dragon - ever a pirate ship - pursues and is wrecked by just such a white ship, Hopewell seems to be the sole survivor, and is cast up on an idyllic island inhabited only by an elderly scholar Dr Prosper Bonaventure, a girl, Flora, and her goat, Caprice. This is a place of illusion and transformation, where doors open on to the places of one's innermost dreams. But who from the wreck is truly lost, and who has survived? What is real and what is illusion? Who is evil and who is good? Who is boy and who is girl? And which is the true Lord of Alchemists who manipulates them all? As Hopewell struggles through the twists and turns of the enchanted world, the scales begin to fall from his eyes... 1965298 17 4 2003 The Tempestuous Voyage of Hopewell Shakespeare total:3|5:1|4:1|2:1| 3 11 3 0 1962220 0340865814 9780340865811 3 0 3.67 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1190934983m/1962220.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1962220.The_Tempestuous_Voyage_of_Hopewell_Shakespeare 4 0 false Wed Jun 10 23:32:44 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 23:32:44 -0700 2009 1962220 0340865814 9780340865811 3 0 3.67 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1190934983m/1962220.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1962220.The_Tempestuous_Voyage_of_Hopewell_Shakespeare 2 0 false Sun Feb 15 11:35:54 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 11:35:54 -0800 2009 1962220 0340865814 9780340865811 3 0 3.67 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1190934983m/1962220.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1962220.The_Tempestuous_Voyage_of_Hopewell_Shakespeare 5 0 false Mon Dec 22 02:51:38 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 22 02:51:38 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1962220
