Best swashbuckling books

(Besides mine, of course)

Best fencing - Captain of Dragoons, Ronald Welch
Best intrigue - The Three Musketeers, Alexandre Dumas
Best castaways - The Coral Island, RM Ballantyne
Best Barbary corsairs - The Sea Hawk, Rafael Sabatini
Best treasure hunt - Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson
Best sea battles - The Buccaneers, Iain Lawrence
Best naval midshipman - Hornblower, CS Forester
Most evil captain - Captain Hook in Peter Pan by JM Barrie
Least blood-thirsty pirates - Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome

That's what I reckon, anyway.
