Conan Doyle não foi apenas o criador do genial detetive Sherlock Holmes. Em Contos de piratas , ele deixa o cenário das ruas de Londres para embarcar na vida em alto-mar, povoada de piratas sanguinários e reais, e de capitães corajosos o suficiente para enfrentá-los. Contos de piratas foi lançado originalmente em 1922, e a coletânea reúne histórias editadas para as revistas de ficção e entretenimento da época. As histórias, narradas com um realismo quase jornalístico, são inspiradas em piratas de verdade e desmistificam o romantismo associado à pirataria pela arte e cultura ocidentais.
