Summary: 5 Stars
Ahoy Matey...raise the Jolly Roger and come aboard! With selections from authors Robert Louis Stevenson, Gilbert and Sullivan, John Masefield, Washington Irving, and Arthur Conan Doyle..., award winning illustrator, Michael Hague, has amassed eleven classic poems and stories for this superb collection or pirate tales. These entertaining and engaging stories, full of danger and excitement, are rich in history, drama, mystery, and adventure, and Mr Hague's evocative illustrations bring these tales to life. Some are detailed and expressive pen and ink drawings. Others, bold, lush, and vivid paintings in dark ominous tones. But all transport readers back to a time when blood-thirsty pirates ruled the high seas, searched deserted islands for buried treasure, and walked the plank. Perfect for youngsters 10 and older, The Book Of Pirates is a marvelous and riveting collection of pirate lore that is sure to send imaginations soaring. "Oh better far to live and die/Under the brave black flag I fly.../And it is, it is a glorious thing/To be a Pirate King!"
