  My Lady Caprice - Courtship...

  Jeffery Farnol

  A man courts a young woman by way of her small nephew, who conducts the campaign for him with rather more energy than tact — a summer, a river, a garden and an entirely successful conspiracy. Farnol painted scenery in New York theatres and wrote his first novel on scraps between shifts, after a Birmingham foundry sacked him for fighting; this is his lightest book, and the boys are drawn without a grain of sugar. Fifty-nine plates of gardens, rivers and young ladies in boats, from Sargent and Tissot among others, follow the courtship's own scenery across a century and more of painting.

  Buccaneers and Pirates of our Coasts is a non-fiction, rolicking story of the origins of piracy and of the famous pirates of the coasts of the United States. The stories dont cast pirates in the glowing light of modern day renditions - in Stocktons stories, pirates are bad guys! - but the dramatic style makes them good fun to read, anyway!
