The Rover's Secret: A Tale of the Pirate Cays and Lagoons of Cuba Kindle Edition

My Childhood. My father—Cuthbert Lascelles—was the great painter who, under a pseudonym which I need not mention here, was a few years ago well known in the world of art, and whose works are now to be found enshrined in some of the noblest public and private collections both at home and abroad. He was a tall and singularly handsome man; with clear grey eyes, and a stern resolute-looking mouth shadowed by a heavy moustache which, like his short curly hair and carefully trimmed beard, was of a pale golden tint. My mother died in giving me birth; and this, together with the fact that she was a native of Italy, was all I, for some years, knew concerning her. One of the earliest impressions made upon my infant mind—for I cannot recall the time when I was free from it—was that my parents suffered great unhappiness during the latter part of their short married life; unhappiness resulting from some terrible mistake on the part of one or the other of them; which mistake was never explained and rectified—if explanation and rectification were indeed possible—during my mother’s lifetime

I have never read a book quite like this. In some places it was laborious but I learned a lot about the seafaring life. There was a good story interwoven with all the action on the high seas.

Am still enjoying it haven't quite finished and am looking forward to the end. Probably a little far fetched but who knows without some imagination we would not get any books and in the days of almost legal pirates who can say. There are still pirates these days but I think you had a fairer go back in the past,Their navigation skills amazed me I can get lost in a car but I am 90 , Apart from the blood and gore of battle the morals of the people in the book and then were and are a darn sight better than they are today.
