The story is inspired by the author's travels in Papua New Guinea and is largely unknown by today's audience. Hume Nisbet was a versatile writer whose experiences as an artist and traveler informed his wide-ranging body of work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story opens on the island of Laverne, a notorious pirate stronghold set in protective waters along the coast of South America. 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 that depends in no small part upon his own adventures on the islands of the South Sea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition of Hume Nisbet's The Jolly Roger: A Story of Sea Heroes and Pirates is a classic of Victorian fiction reimagined for modern readers. It features a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript. The story is a tale of swashbuckling adventure set during the tumultuous reign of King James I, and the pirates embark on a journey in search of fortune across the Spanish Main. They encounter various challenges and obstacles, including the wiles of a thousand-year-old witch, but ultimately succeed in their quest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe novel is a testament to Nisbet's skill as a writer and his ability to create a vivid and captivating world that captures the imagination of readers. It is a must-read for anyone who loves adventure, history, and the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 203 x 127 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781513133997\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hume Nisbet","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44098825617658,"sku":"9781513133997","price":12.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1669984788614_book.jpg?v=1670313537","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-jolly-roger-a-story-of-sea-heroes-and-pirates-9781513133997","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
