Thank you to Netgalley and Chronicle Books for the eARC of Stories for Seafarers in exchange for an honest review.
This is a nice collection of three classical work of literature all centered on the maritime theme. The book itself is not anything new given that all three works have already been published a long time ago but the gorgeous cover and artworks layered throughout the book definitely add to its appeal and can make a great gift for lovers of the ocean or of these maritime stories.
