Penguin Classics, 2001
Priceless Jewel
+ Not Vintage Steinbeck; Good Nonetheless
"Cup of Gold" is described as being the tale of Sir Henry Morgan with occasional references to history. Being unfamiliar with pirate folklore, I am not certain what aspects of the book are fact. I am certain that this book is divergent from Steinbeck's usual path of storytelling. This is a play ...
