  • "Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950) was one of the foremost writers of historical and adventure fiction of his time. The master of the swashbuckling tale, he created the characters Scaramouche and Captain Blood, and his novel The Sea Hawk, which sold a million copies, was made into a celebrated film starring Errol Flynn. Sabatini was also a prolific writer of short stories, some of which were collected during his lifetime - although many lay forgotten in old periodicals until discovered by researcher and anthologist Jack Adrian, who has selected the best for this volume: twenty stories, seventeen of which have never been reprinted in book form. The stories range in historical time from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, and feature a splendid array of rogues, vagabonds, shyster lawyers, cutpurses, quacks, and conmen."
