| Pirates
by David Harrison
You
may have seen movies and heard stories about dancing, laughing, singing,
joking pirates, bold heroes sailing the seven seas. Well, that wasn't
who pirates really were. And it wasn't who pirates are today. Pirates
by David Harrison tells the real story of pirates through poetry and
beautiful full page paintings. It will dispell the pirate myths and
show pirates for whom they were and for whom they are: brutal, evil,
thieves with no compassion.
Get
your team together, and come read the truest swashbuckling pirate
poems ever!
