The Buccaneer Book : Songs of the Black Flag

e-book


"The Buccaneer Book: Songs of the Black Flag" weaves a lyrical tapestry of the pirate's life through the poetic compositions of Alden Charles Noble. In this anthology, each poem serves as a maritime ballad, capturing the spirit of the open sea, the adventures of seafaring rogues, and the allure of the black flag. From the rowdy camaraderie of "Drinking Song" to the somber reflection of "Marooned," Noble's verses navigate the complex emotions and experiences of those who live by the code of the buccaneer.
