Publisher's Synopsis
Salt-Water Ballads is a collection of poems written by John Masefield and published in 1915. The book is a tribute to the sea and the sailors who brave its dangers. The poems are written in simple, lyrical language and capture the essence of life at sea, from the excitement of setting sail to the loneliness of being far from home. The collection includes some of Masefield's most famous works, such as ""Sea-Fever"" and ""Cargoes"", which have become classics of English literature. The poems are accompanied by illustrations by Charles Pears, which add to the nautical theme of the book. Salt-Water Ballads is a celebration of the sea and the men who sail upon it, and it remains a beloved work of poetry to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
