Edith Wharton's spellbinding final novel tells a story of love in the gilded age that crosses the boundaries of society—soon to be an original series on AppleTV+! “Brave, lively, engaging...a fairy-tale novel, miraculouly returned to life.”—The New York Times Book Review Set in the 1870s, the same period as Wharton's The Age of Innocence, The Buccaneers is about five wealthy American girls denied entry into New York Society because their parents' money is too new. At the suggestion of their clever governess, the girls sail to London, where they marry lords, earls, and dukes who find their beauty charming—and their wealth extremely useful. After Wharton's death in 1937, The Christian Science Monitor said, "If it could have been completed, The Buccaneers would doubtless stand among the richest and most sophisticated of Wharton's novels." Now, with wit and imagination, Marion Mainwaring has finished the story, taking her cue from Wharton's own synopsis. It is a novel any Wharton fan will celebrate and any romantic reader will love. This is the richly engaging story of Nan St. George and Guy Thwarte, an American heiress and an English aristocrat, whose love breaks the rules of both their societies.
Growing up as an orphan on the streets of Port Royal Jamaica, Buc always felt a strong connection to the sea and a longing for adventure. A sad twist of fate drives Buc to leave the safety of his island home and attempt to solve a long-standing mystery. Will it lead to the discovery of a lifetime, or has he been sent on a wild goose chase? The story takes an average rooster with a thirst for adventure and tosses him into the world of piracy. His present mixes with his past and he is driven to find answers to who he really is. Fascinated by the folklore and legends of the notorious pirate, Captain Lucky Longfeather, Buc hatches a plan. Together with his First Mate, Mister Ayg, and his burly quartermaster Chumlee. Buc sets out to find a crew to undertake a quest to solve a long-standing mystery of the Caribbean. Colorful characters, comical dialog, and a few bird puns make this story an enjoyable read for children of all ages. Primarily targeted toward young-adult readers, the book is a fast-paced adventure that makes for a great bedtime story as well.

But when a crashing, thrashing, bashing wildcat of a storm threatens them all, will Henry and his landlubbin’ library save the day?
