What's the book?
My mind has gone completely blank - can anyone help me out?
I'm trying to remember the name of a classic 19th century adventure story, rather along the lines of "Treasure Island". The story involves a teenage boy who, along the way of the story, gets locked in a church crypt for a couple of days, recovers some jewels from the bottom of a well, and various other adventures. Does anyone have a clue what book I might be referring to? It's driving me mad, and I'll recognise the title as soon as I hear it! |

It's suddenly come to me: "Moonfleet". All I could think of was "The Moonstone", and I knew it wasn't that .
Problem solved. |

... and now uploaded as an eBook. There was an earlier one, but it was not formatted very well.
