MP3 Audio CD. Readers fascinated by the cruel and magic world of the pirates are in for a real treat with this extraordinary compilation by Charles Ellms.

The Danes, Norwegians, and Swedes, from their superior knowledge of navigation, gave into it most; and on whatever coast the winds carried them, they made free with all that came… Read More
