Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Stephen Blundell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Great Pirate Stories" by Joseph Lewis French is a collection of pirate tales edited in the early 20th century. This anthology is filled with narratives that delve into the adventurous and often treacherous lives of pirates, showcasing their exploits and the romantic allure of the sea. Through the various stories included, readers are introduced to the dynamic and often morally complex figures that populate the pirate lore. At the start of the collection, French provides a foreword that sets the tone for the tales to come, reflecting on the romanticized notion of piracy as an integral part of maritime history. He discusses the tension between the pirate's villainy and the allure of their adventurous lifestyles, framing them as both historical figures and larger-than-life characters. The opening portion also introduces the first story, "The Piccaroon," detailing the encounters and challenges faced by sailors, providing a glimpse into the camaraderie and risks inherent in the life of a seafarer amid the backdrop of piracy.
