Published at the beginning of his career as a leading ghost story writer of the Victorian era, \u003ci\u003eThe Jolly Roger: A Story of Sea Heroes and Pirates\u003c\/i\u003e is a tale of adventure inspired by the author's travels in Papua New Guinea. Largely unknown by today's audience, Hume Nisbet was a versatile writer whose experiences as an artist and traveler inform his wide-ranging body of work. From the mind of one of Victorian England's finest popular fiction writers comes a tale of swashbuckling adventure set during the tumultuous reign of King James I. The story opens on the island of Laverne, a notorious pirate stronghold set in protective waters along the coast of South America. From there, a group of brave and impossibly bold pirates embarks on a journey in search of fortune across the Spanish Main. Along the way, they nearly succumb to the wiles of a thousand-year-old witch, perhaps the most memorable of Nisbet's creations, but certainly not the most terrifying. With scant source material, the author summons an era of wonder and discovery for modern day readers, a feat which depends in no small part upon his own adventures on the islands of the South Sea. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Hume Nisbet's \u003ci\u003eThe Jolly Roger: A Story of Sea Heroes and Pirates\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic of Victorian fiction reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mint Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781513290232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Hume Nisbet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41439530254517,"sku":"9781513290232","price":10.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2704401e-0e3f-423f-9ee7-ef5174c33699.jpg?v=1639488962","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-jolly-roger-a-story-of-sea-heroes-and-pirates-9781513290232","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
