Pirates, Buccaneers, Marooners, those cruel but picturesque sea wolves who once infested the Spanish Main, all live in present-day conceptions in great degree as drawn by the pen and pencil of Howard Pyle….It is improbable that anyone else will ever bring his combination of interest and talent to the depiction of these old-time Pirates, any more than there could be a second Remington to paint the now extinct Indians and gun-fighters of the Great West.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Book of Pirate Stories
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2023

This is a great collection of Pirate Stories, all but one of which appears to be historically accurate. The last story is an adventure story about a ruby hidden in ivory puzzle ball, given by a pirate to his daughter. This might be a great book to read to children interested in pirates.

It was in far better condition than I expected and will be a great addition to the Hemingway Pfeiffer museum in Piggott, Arkansas. This is the book that Ernest Hemingway loved to read to his son John Hemingway while they were staying at his wife's parent's house in Piggott between 1928 and 1940.

This book is described as being the Ukrainian edition, and the language is specified as Ukrainian. But this is just the English text. I was looking for some Ukrainian-language reading for my kids, and am disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Your Typical Swashbuckling, Rum Swilling Stories
Reviewed in Canada on August 14, 2020
Verified Purchase
I love the stories in this book! Adventure, mystery, intrigue, suspense, and a peek into the way of life back then. Not your typical swashbuckling and rum swilling stories. Stories about pirates, traders and the common folk who intermingled in their world, these stories aren't packed with dynamic action but sizzle with tense thrills and taut atmosphere. The fact that at times Howard Pyle pulled from real life sources enhances the tales with a greater sense of intrigue as to what's true and what's fictitious.
Howard Pyle was a marvellous writer and illustrator. I love his style - he has an enthralling way with words! He did with written stories what Hitchcock did with visual stories. The images he physically created to accompany his works and the works of other writers are amazing. He does an excellent job of romanticizing the time by showing its dark and gritty belly, and creating the atmosphere in each scene.
This is a book I'll be re-reading again and again.
