This collection showcases the evolution of adventure literature, with works ranging from gothic to romantic, and realism to pulp fiction, thereby capturing the swashbuckling zest and perilous escapades synonymous with pirate lore.

The authors and editors, each formidable in their own right, hail from the 18th to early 20th centuries, a period rich with literary innovation. This era saw the blending of historical narratives with burgeoning literary forms, leading to the distinct genre of adventure fiction displayed across these pages. United in this collection are voices from both sides of the Atlantic, highlighting the global appeal and universal themes of courage, exploration, and the quest for freedom, beautifully encapsulating the essence of the time. Distinguished scholars and avid readers alike will find 'The Jolly Roger Boxed-Set' not only a thrilling voyage into the tumultuous waters of pirate narrations but also a lens through which to explore diverse literary methodologies and philosophical undertones. This anthology promises an enriching experience, as it not only entertains but educates, ensuring a deeper appreciation of how adventure literature has shaped and been shaped by history. Each page invites the reader to weave through the tapestry of storied bravado and to indulge in the rich dialogue among some of the greatest minds in literary history.

    An October Bride by Katie Ganshert 
    No one but Jake and Emma know the true reason they’re getting married—so Emma’s dying father can walk her down the aisle. While Jake and Emma plan an autumn wedding together, it becomes clear that their agreement has a few complications—the biggest being their true feelings for each other.

    Frederick Ignatius Cowles was born in 1900 in Cambridge, England. 
     
    This unfamiliar name is one of the gems of English supernatural fiction as well as several other works of travelogues, history, folklore, and children's books.  
     
    When his supernatural short stories, and some are very short indeed, were first published they were compared to the works of M R James and EF Benson, yet unlike those two authors he fell, unfairly, into obscurity. 
     
    In all he wrote perhaps 60 short stories with weird and supernatural themes. 
     
    Frederick Cowles died in 1948 although some accounts offer that it was 1949.

    Robert Louis Stevenson. In the Scottish canon to be placed alongside Burns is high praise indeed but it’s a rightful place for one of Scotland’s finest novelists.  Born in 1850 he managed to cram much into his 44 years travelling widely to France, the United States, Samoa and the South Seas.  Of course he is widely feted for his classics Dr Jeckyll & Mr Hyde, Treasure Island and poetry volumes such as A Child’s Garden Of Verses.  Here we concentrate on his short stories Olliah and The Body Snatchers.  Both offer compelling examples of narration and suspense superbly reduced to their essence.  This volume is brought to your ears by Richard Mitchley and Robbie McNab.
