A treasury of pirate stories for children aged 4-10, illustrated by Peter Utton
Sally Grindley has gathered together 10 swashbuckling pirate stories from such well-known authors as Kay Umansky, Martin Waddell, Vivian French and Ian Whybrow. Meet the captain whose aunt has given him a harmonica, but whose crew leave him stranded on a desert island because they can't stand to hear his terrible rendition of "A Life on the Ocean Wave" one more time; the private's apprentice who does so well at pirate school that she casts away her teacher and sails off in her ship; and Pip the Ship-taker who, with his cat, Squeezer, fools a pirate captain with a daring plan.
