You’re right, I did — I forgot all about that.

I have that too–you might have sent it to me, actually. Either that or I found it online somewhere.

There’s also a Lux Radio Theatre adaptation of Captain Blood, also with Flynn and De Haviland. I think it’s included as a feature on the recent DVD release (although I haven’t checked, since I have it on CD anyway).

I probably should have mentioned the movie, since I love it–it’s the only Sabatini-adapted movie that’s reasonably faithful to the book.

I’m so glad you like the blog, and even more glad that I’ve prompted someone to start reading Rafael Sabatini. :)

Oooo, I’m so glad you posted about this book. I remember spying it in the book store about a year ago (at least) after seeing the film of the same name starring Errol Flyn, surprised to know that it was based on a book. Then, somehow, it fell off my radar. Luckily the store still has it, so I’ll have to purchase it tomorrow.

I really like the idea behind your blog.
