Synopsis

This booklet is aimed at those who wish to enjoy learning a brief, yet very informative outline of Drake’s life and voyages.

The Brief Biography section contains the same text as that in the booklet Sir Francis Drake & The Golden Hind, but the accompanying photographs and the rest of the booklet are different. The main strength of this publication is having exclusively collated all the primary evidence to document the periods that Sir Francis was in residence at his country estate in Devon. This booklet makes such information available for the first time. John Thrower has drawn an exquisite map to orientate the reader to follow Sir Francis’s movements throughout this detailed and informative text, that is laced with pictures to depict Devon at her best!
