Description

When pirate-turned-explorer Martin Frobisher discovers a new land in the Arctic filled with riches, Elizabeth I glimpses a golden future of wealth, prestige, and influence. The Queen invests heavily to bring civilization to the natives and their assets home to England. Frobisher's Gold blends history, comedy, and politics in a tale of imperial desire, improbable coincidences, and bad dentistry.
