Raise the main-mast and ready the mizzen; man the helm and steer'er south-south-west. Strengthen your seaman's vernacular as you make your way through these wonderful thirty four short stories (taken from larger novels) of a time past when the great sailing ships ruled the seas. There are also occasional illustrations by Peter Hurd. The stand-outs are from Hans Christian Anderson, James Boyd, Frank T. Bullen, Daniel Defoe, Alexander Dumas, Victor Hugo, Charles Kingsley, Jack London, Pierre Loti, John Masefield, Guy Murchie, Jr., Charles Reade, and Morgan Robertson. Wish you well Scott
Grand Collection of Sea Stories
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
If you have an affinity for sea stories, this is the book for you! Magnificent in content, broad in its scope and selection of authors, it is also a great introduction to some classic and almost forgotten writers. Where else can you read selections from Homer, Jules Verne, Herman Melville, Victor Hugo, James Fenimore Cooper, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Rudyard Kipling? A book originally published in 1940, this new release is a welcome sight to us sea-lovers.
