About This Item
An excellent overview of the 500 years of adventurous men and women who have roamed the seas in search of other peoples' wealth. It's not a new idea: ever since people have sailed in ships, others have made their living by robbing them. And more than once they have changed the course of history. Marrin tells the tales of these adventurers, from Drake landing at Plymouth in October 1567, through to Henry Morgan the Buccaneer Prince, Captain Kidd, Mary Reed, to the Barbary Pirates and many more. The many illustrations comprise old prints and engravings, diagrams and maps.
A really excellent copy. Pages are bright and clean, with no marks, creases or browning. Cloth boards are excellent. Dust jacket is in first rate condition, unclipped and no more wear than a brand new book. See photos all of which are of the actual copy for sale. All now protected in professional clear book wrapper. 175 pp with many fascinating illustrations, index and book recommendations
