HEAR SAMPLE

Fiction, Fact, and Fancy Concerning the Buccaneers and Marooners of the Spanish Main
"I read aloud from Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates."Ernest Hemingway

"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."

So writes Merle Johnson, who has here gathered together in one volume all of the nineteenth-century
author-artist's classic pirate stories that had been scattered through many magazines and books. Well
researched and with richly drawn characters, Pyle's work will appeal to students of history and adventure
lovers alike.

Earphones Awards recipient Simon Vance was born in England and worked for the BBC for ten years as a radio news announcer and as a narrator for the Royal National Institute for the Blind in London. Besides narrating audiobooks, he is involved in numerous stage-acting projects in the United States and Europe.
