Bound for 'Jamaicy' under the Skull and Crossbones

C. S. Forester and his modern day acolytes have ensured that fictional tales of adventure on the high seas from the time of Nelson's Navy and Napoleon Bonaparte's Wars have remained almost uniquely popular to the present time-even through the now thankfully past wilderness years for the historic novel. Equally, tales of pirates plying their dastardly trade on the Spanish Main have a healthy pedigree and it would take someone who knows nothing of books not to have childhood memories of Long John Silver and that ever famous, 'Treasure Island' from the able pen of Robert Louis Stevenson. So for those for whom both of the above potentially tick the boxes for reading enjoyment, Leonaur is pleased to offer this rediscovered, mid-Victorian adventure of the imaginative events that centred on Captain Brand of the 'Centipede.' True to the style of the day this novel contains every element of adventure one could wish for in a wonderful tale of heroes and villains in conflict on the seas and oceans of the early nineteenth century. Available in softcover and hardcover with dust jacket.
