This story is based loosely on the lives of the author's great, great, great, grandfathers, John Andrew and James Law. Both were well known smugglers in the late 18th and early 19th Century, and operated at the same time on the north Yorkshire coast between Scarborough and the Tees estuary. The story is gripping, colourful, and vividly evocative of a bygone time when men and their loyal women survived as 'Freetraders' to make a profit in those hard times! The men were highly respected in their areas. They were rough, tough, characters, living in rough, tough, times. The tale, so ably told by Richard Swale, may not be a strictly true account, but will have the reader eagerly turning the pages to follow the exploits of these bygone folk as they went about the business of Freetrading, or, as it is more generally known-smuggling.
