What to expect
From the author of the blockbuster Horrible Histories series, also a TV show and movie, who has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide.
Horrible Histories author Terry Deary presents a hilarious collection of Pirate tales based on action-packed true stories – four books in one! Perfect for history fans (and those who don't know they're history fans yet) aged 7+.
The Pirate Captain: Captain Fly is the greatest pirate to sail the seven seas - or so he says. But his captives Jed and Arthur think he's a bad-tempered bully. Now Captain Fly has ordered his prisoners to work for him as pirates! It's time to stop him for good...
The Pirate Lord: Tom is a cabin boy for Captain Francis Drake, on his mission to steal South American gold from the Spanish fleet. Can Tom survive the trip through waves three times the height of their tiny ship, help Drake defeat the Spanish galleons - and come back rich?
The Pirate Prisoner: Red-legs Greaves has been a slave, a pirate, and a rich sugar planter. Now he's a prisoner. And next morning, he'll be dead! His only friend is a slave girl called Lou. Can Lou do anything to save Red-legs?
The Pirate Queen: Grace O'Malley is the greatest pirate that ever lived, the terror of the Irish Sea. Her gang of cut-throats rule the waves... until Grace is captured and sent to London! What will happen when the Queen of the Pirates meets the Queen of England?
Terrible True Tales: Pirates explores the adventures of the pirates through the eyes of children who could have lived at the time. These fantastic stories blend pirate legend with historical fact. This edition features notes for the reader to help extend learning and exploration of the period.
