Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates is a classic collection of pirate tales, legends, historical sketches, and illustrations by one of America's great storytellers and artists. Drawing on the romance of the Spanish Main, buried treasure, sea battles, privateers, buccaneers, captains, cutthroats, and rogues, Pyle helped define the modern visual and literary image of the pirate: bold, dangerous, theatrical, and inseparable from the world of adventure fiction.
Published after Pyle's death, this collection brings together material that reflects his lasting influence on children's adventure literature, illustration, and the popular imagination of piracy. For readers interested in classic pirate stories, illustrated adventure fiction, maritime tales, Golden Age illustration, children's classics, and traditional boys' adventure books, Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates remains one of the central works in the formation of pirate legend as it is still recognised today.
