"By maintaining a vigorous, satisfying pace, Susan O'Malley holds the listener's attention
admirably. Her reading is intelligent and agreeable."AudioFile
"What the European male fails to understand is that the American Girl is innocent by definition, mythically
innocent; and that her purity depends upon nothing she says or does...."Leslie Fiedler
When Frederick, an American expatriate traveling in Europe, meets the commonplace, newly rich Miller
family from New York, he is charmed by the daughter, Daisy, and her "inscrutable combination of audacity
and innocence". The Millers have no perception of the complex code that underlies behavior in European
society, and Winterbourne is astonished at the girl's unworldliness and her mother's unconcern when Daisy
accompanies him to the Castle of Chillon. Some months later, he meets the family in Rome, where Daisy
has aroused suspicion among the American colony by being seen constantly with a third-rate Italian.
Ostracized by former friends who think her "intrigue" has gone too far, Daisy denies that she is engaged
to Giovanelli. Publicly, Winterbourne defends her as simply uncultivated, but privately, he hesitates.

The Colonial Radio Theatre on the Air is proud to present Rafael Sabatini's adventure classic, "Captain Blood," fully dramatized for the first time. Dr. Peter Blood is arrested and sentenced to hang for treating a wounded rebel. Instead of death, he is sent to Barbados as a slave. When the Spanish attack the port city of Bridgetown, he and his fellow slaves capture the Spanish ship and set out to sea, where he becomes the notorious Pirate, Captain Blood. Battles on Sea and on Land, daring escapes, sword duels to the death, a touch of romance, and a magnificent score by Jeffrey Gage, “Captain Blood” is a swashbuckling adventure on a very grand scale! Presented in 17 episodes.
