Bleak House
Part panoramic social satire and - with the introduction of the indefatigable police investigator Mr Bucket - part prototype of the detective genre, this dark, complex and intricately plotted book is considered by many to be both Dickens's greatest work and the finest novel of the Victorian age.
From run-ins with the Spanish Inquisition to joining a band of runaway slaves, Ned and his friends visit strange and exotic lands and watch one of the great naval battles as the English fleet clashes with the mighty Spanish Armada.

Description
Bleak House by Charles Dickens is a classic novel filled with intricate storytelling and unforgettable characters.
After impressing Francis Drake with a feat of daring and bravery, young Ned Hearne is offered a reward of his own choosing. His decision? To sail the seas on Drake’s ship. Little does he know, however, what adventures, dangers and close shaves lie in store!
From run-ins with the Spanish Inquisition to joining a band of runaway slaves, Ned and his friends visit strange and exotic lands and watch one of the great naval battles as the English fleet clashes with the mighty Spanish Armada.
“Oh, sir!” the boy exclaimed, his cheek flushing with excitement. “If you are Master Francis Drake, will you let me join your ship, for the voyage to the Indies?”
