SuitabookThe smugglers
Iain Lawrence
- Reading
- Try the opening together, then pause to discuss what John knows and what remains a warning or suspicion. This can help gauge whether the suspense suits your reader.
- Themes
- Smuggling and honest trade: John intends to use the Dragon for the wool trade and becomes involved in a dangerous smuggling scheme. The contrast between legitimate trade and smuggling gives the adventure a question of risk and choice, but the story's judgement of smuggling is not established.
- Worth knowing
- The story includes a dangerous smuggling scheme and a blood-related warning about the ship. The nature and extent of any danger or harm are not clear.
