Complete and unabridged, with 45 full-page plates by Ivan Aivazovsky, David Kleyne and William Hodges. The voyages of the Elizabethan seamen in their own words, cut for boys from Hakluyt's collection: Frobisher, Gilbert, Drake, Hawkins, the Muscovy merchants and the fight of the Revenge. Edwin Bacon retold the narratives and let the original language through in long quotations. Nothing written since has matched the plainness of men describing what they did in latitudes nobody had charted. Forty-five plates of open sea, uncharted coast and storm, from Turner and Aivazovsky among others, keep the perils these men describe in view.
