Complete and unabridged, with 55 full-page plates by Peter Paul Rubens, Nicolas de Largillière and Nicolas Bertin. The stories a modern country tells itself and believes - the buried treasure, the vanished traveler, the sea serpent, the family curse - traced back to where they started. Drake wrote New England history and applied the same method to the legends of his own day. This edition is bound with a gallery of 55 plates after Rubens, Jordaens and Pellegrini, alongside five illustrations restored and coloured for the first time.
