The Book of Pirates
Written and Illustrated by Howard Pyle
Rarely have the exploits of marauding pirates and buccaneers of the Spanish Main been more vividly recounted than in the stories of author and illustrator Howard Pyle. Possessed of a unique talent for recapturing the flavor of bygone eras, Pyle wrote and illustrated these highly readable, swashbuckling sagas of the sea wolves who sailed under the dreaded black king.
The result is a treasury of marvelous tales, enhanced with 63 of Pyle's own incomparable illustrations—including 11 full page color plates. It is sure to delight any lover of tales of adventure on the high seas.
