It is a story in which fact and fiction are delightfully blended and one that is entertaining in high degree from first to last.
CAPTAIN BLOOD
The story has glamor and beauty, and it is told with an easy confidence. As for Blood himself, he is a superman, compounded of a sardonic humor, cold nerves; and hot temper. Both the story and the man are masterpieces. A great figure, a great epoch, a great story.
THE SEA-HAWK
“The Sea-Hawk” is a book of fierce bright color and amazing adventure through which stalks one of the truly great and masterful figures of romance.
SCARAMOUCHE
Never will the reader forget the sardonic Scaramouche, who fights equally well with tongue and rapier, who was “born with the gilt of laughter and a sense that the world was mad.”
