TAILIEUCHUNG - Book of Pirates

PIRATES, Buccaneers, Marooners, those cruel but picturesque sea wolves who once infested the Spanish Main, all live in present-day conceptions in great degree as drawn by the pen and pencil of Howard Pyle. Pyle, artist-author, living in the latter half of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth, had the fine faculty of transposing himself into any chosen period of history and making its people flesh and blood again--not just historical puppets. His characters were sketched with both words and picture; with both words and picture he ranks as a master, with a rich personality which makes his work individual and attractive. | Howard Pyle s Book of Pirates 1 Chapter I Chapter II Howard Pyle s Book of Pirates Fiction Fact Fancy concerning the Buccaneers Marooners of the Spanish Main From the writing Pictures of Howard Pyle.

CAPTAIN SCARFIELD FOREWORD PIRATES Buccaneers Marooners those cruel but picturesque sea wolves who once infested the Spanish Main all live in present-day conceptions in great degree as drawn by the pen and pencil of Howard Pyle. Pyle artist-author living in the latter half of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth had the fine faculty of transposing himself into any chosen period of history and making its people flesh and blood again--not just historical puppets. His characters were sketched with both words and picture with both words and picture he ranks as a master with a rich personality which makes his work individual and attractive in either medium. He was one of the founders of present-day American illustration and his pupils and grand-pupils pervade that field to-day. While he bore no such important part in the world of letters his stories are modern in treatment and yet widely read. His range included historical treatises concerning his favorite Pirates Quaker though he was fiction with the same Pirates as principals Americanized version of Old World fairy tales boy stories of the Middle Ages still best sellers to growing lads stories of the occult such as In Tenebras and To the Soil of the Earth which if newly published would be hailed as contributions to our latest cult. In all these fields Pyle s work may be equaled surpassed save in one. It is improbable that anyone else will .
