About this listen

 The tulip craze of 17th century Holland has a dark side! Cornelius van Baerle, a wealthy but naive tulip grower, finds himself entangled in the deadly politics of his time. Cornelius' one desire is to grow the perfect black tulip. But after his godfather is murdered, he finds himself in prison, facing a death sentence. His jailer's lovely daughter holds the key to his survival, and his chance to produce the precious black blossom. Yet he has one more enemy to contend with!©2000 Tantor Media Incorporated Classics Crime Fiction European Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Literary Fiction Literary History & Criticism World Literature Fiction Crime
