PIRATES AHOY!

An old pushover for pirates' yarns with hearty enthusiasm for corsairs and buccaneers, alleged and actual, past and not so past, little known and famous- frankly it seems to me to be more down the line of a boys' book than an adult book. Among the famous names, there's Drake, John Paul Jones, Decatur; there are stories of Turks and the Barbary Coast; there's Rachael, who married a corsair and gave him a run for his money; there are tales of buried treasure, etc.
