A personal insight in to the life of John Keats, his thoughts, his friends, where was his life going?...his poetry said it all. He was a hothead, short to temper, but so completely focused on becoming a poet, he had a vision, an image of himself. Fashion mattered, frilly cuffs mattered and he was prepared for fisticuffs on the streets or a brawl at the local theatre. His time in Devon was the summer in his life for the most part - though it rained most of the time. His brother and the girls from the shop across the way, were young, free, and so enjoying their precious time together.

The Jolly Sailor is a pirate comedy drama for teenagers. It is based around a group of friends known as the Posse, and among them is William who is, to say the least, not the adventurous type. You could say he had had a sheltered life because that is how his father, a customs officer, had it arranged. If he had known that his mother was Gracie O'Donnell - the Pirate Queen - his life might have been very different. On a trip to France to pick up documents, William is kidnapped by the Cornish Captain Rumtug and his daughter, Martha May.
