"Here's one of the better books to feed your pirate-besotted child's borderline worrisome single-mindedness....it's worth a pirate's plunder." * New York Times Book Review * Book of the Week 'This book is fantastic... So far this is easily one of the most impressive [non-fiction titles about real life pirates] we've seen. Utterly wonderful stuff' * Read it Daddy * 'superb' * Let Them Be Small * 'The concept of broadening the seek-and-you-shall-find book to non-fiction proves itself a winner with this intelligent, varied volume' * The Bookbag *
