Pirates have captivated our imaginations for centuries, from contemporary accounts of their villainy and violence to modern movie versions. Over the years, thousands of tales, both true and fantastic, have been told about the dastardly adventures and swashbuckling thievery of pirates. Writers of every generation have created pirate tales full of excitement, adventure, and humor. Now, their work has been gathered here that includes both well-loved tales and little-known stories about mythical and real pirates. The stories, songs, true histories, and verses featured in this enormous treasure trove include those by Daniel Defoe, Mark Twain, Joseph Conrad, James Fenimore Cooper, Robert Louis Stevenson, and many more.
