Jason Savage is a farmer's son in Wiltshire in 1627. Named for the Argonaut story by the local vicar, he is a daydreamer and when his situation becomes intolerable, he leaves home to pursue a dream of going to Coromandel and finding the treasure on a map he bought with his entire savings. From 'big city' London he gets taken on as a seaman on a a merchant ship bound for India.
Arriving in Manairuppu, he finds local people and customs confusing, but continues his quest and eventually discovers his own 'golden fleece'. ( )
