PIRATE HUNTER SERIES / EXCELLENT CHILDRENS BOOK
The book is easy reading. Story about pirates and mutiny in the 17th century. Good book for older children and adults who want an easy / light reading.
Book is similar to the Jack Sparrow / Pirates of the Caribbean series. Short easy to read series. There is 3 in this series so far.

Excellent Pirate History Book
1 of 1 found this helpful This is a great book if you are interested in pirates. It has full color pictures of the ships, flags, weapons, etc. It is large and easy to read. It has a little bit of everything in it. It is a good starter book and then you can go on to others. I have this book in my collection and I have over 100 pirate books. This is one I will not sell. David Cordingly is a expert on pirate history. He used to be in charge of the maritime museum.
It comes in paperback softcover and the hardcover with a dust jacket.

Pirate History Book for pirate fans
I have this book in my pirate collection as well as Pirates Fact and Fiction by David Cordingly. This book has 86 pictures with 15 in color and 4 maps. It is more for reading than some other books which are more picture book variety.
Some of the chapters are as follows: Freedom of the seas, Bloody Buccaneers, Black Jack and Blackbeard, the pirate round, corsairs of malta and barbary, pacification of the pirates, etc.
Some of the pictures show wha the ships looked like, what some of the pirates looked like, maps of the areas that pirates roamed.
Not my favorite pirate book but it is up there. Way better than some which are not worth buying.
