Product Description

But with ``Blackbeard'' it is different, for in him we have a real, ranting, raging, roaring pirate per se -- one who really did bury treasure, who made more than one captain walk the plank, and who committed more private murders than he could number on the fingers of both hands; one who fills, and will continue to fill, the place to which he has been assigned for generations, and who may be depended upon to hold his place in the confidence of others for generations to come.

Customer Reviews

Almost perfect, but...
I ordered this book hoping that it contained the large, full color illustrations of previous editions. It doesn't. While it contains all the illustrations, they are smaller, black and white photographs of the originals. So of course I was dissapointed. (For $, what did I expect? Earlier editions sell from $75 to over a $1,000). But anyone who enjoys an old fashioned pirate tale will not be dissapointed. Howard Pyle was not only an extraordinary illustrator, but also a masterful story teller.
