Description
It is 1639, and the winds of a Caribbean storm howl with the promise of sunken treasure. Treasure is the means by which fourteen-year-old Tom O'Connor hopes to deliver his family from the drudgery of working at a run-down inn on the island of Nevis. But on this particular night he finds only two ragged castaways drifting near death - a maudlin Spaniard who calls himself Ramon the Pious and a slender black youth about Tom's age. Ramon claims the slave boy is a prince, worth his weight in gold show more if returned to his chieftain father across the ocean, and he shows Tom a ring to prove it. When Ramon and the slave prince disappear, the course of Tom's destiny is set as he pursues his elusive dream of wealth from skiff to galleon, plantation to pirate ship, from high-spirited escapades to hairbreadth escapes - and, sometimes, to heartbreak.. show lessTags

Loin de la fantasy ou du roman réaliste, L'anneau du Prince renoue avec le roman d'aventures dans la lignée de Stevenson. Tom Collins est un garçon attachant, un sacré bonimenteur, sans scrupule de surcroît, et pourtant un brin candide. Le lecteur se laisse bien vite happé par l'ambiance et par les événements qui se succèdent à un rythme effréné sans nous laisser le temps de souffler. Les personnages secondaires sont eux aussi hauts en couleurs, à commencer par la soeur de Tom, Feodora qui ne s'en laisse pas conter ! Ce livre est malheureusement désservi par sa couverture peu attrayante, c'est dommage !
