Cup of Gold

Henry Morgan, a boy living a quiet life on a Welsh farm, is inspired to leave home and seek his fortune in the West Indies by the colorful tales of a pirate returning from sea. As he rises to become a famous buccaneer captain, Morgan pursues two ultimate prizes: the vast riches of Panama City, known as the "Cup of Gold," and the legendary "Red Saint," a woman rumored to be fairer than the sun. A Cup of Gold leads readers on a romantic adventure full of idealism and disillusionment while still pointing subtly towards the realism and moral scrutiny that would suffuse Steinbeck's later works, most notably Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath.
