Illustrated by
Gustaf Tenggren.
This collection of twenty-four stories and poems about pirates, ships, and summers by the ocean is a childlike, old-fashioned one. Children explore caves for pirate gold and help rescue stranded ships, and sailors cry out "avast" and "aye, aye, sir!" Tenggren's illustrations offer enough fearsome pirates and spooky skulls to satisfy pirate fans.
