From some of the world's most famous authors come twenty great stories of adventure, mystery and heroism on the sea. From Armada to World War II the great sea-battles rage, while the story-tellers spin all yarns about ghost ships and cities beneath the sea. Hornblower, the world's most famous sailor is here, as well as Baron Münchhausen, the world's most infamous liar. Science fiction, historical fiction, horror and humour - the variety is as great as the sea itself. Twenty-four exciting illustrations by Will Nickless make this treasury complete.
