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" was made into a Hollywood film starring Errol Flynn. This volume provides a selection of 20 stories, 18 of which have never been reprinted in book form. The stories range in historical time from the 16th to the 18th centuries, with an array of rogues, vagabonds, shyster lawyers, cutpurses, quacks and conmen. Jack Adrian has also edited E.F. Benson's "Desirable Residences" and two volumes of "Strand" stories.
