Fortune’s Darling is a historical novel written by Walter Raymond and published in 1901. The story takes place in the late 16th century and follows the life of a young Englishman named Francis Drake. Drake is a sailor and adventurer who dreams of fame and fortune on the high seas. He sets out on a series of daring voyages, including a circumnavigation of the globe, which earns him the nickname ''El Draque'' and the admiration of Queen Elizabeth I. The novel is filled with action and adventure, as Drake battles Spanish galleons, navigates treacherous waters, and faces danger at every turn. Along the way, he falls in love with a beautiful Spanish noblewoman named Isabella, adding a romantic subplot to the story. Fortune’s Darling also explores the political and social climate of the era, including the conflict between England and Spain, and the tensions between Catholics and Protestants. The novel offers a vivid portrayal of life at sea during the Age of Exploration, as well as a glimpse into the mind of one of history’s most famous adventurers. Overall, Fortune’s Darling is a thrilling and engaging historical novel that will appeal to fans of adventure, romance, and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
