Pirates

An exciting addition to the ‘Horrible Histories’ series, these titles will tackle
all the hot historical topics in a new full-colour format with durable cover.
Beginning with the perennial favourite Pirates, they’re all the Horrible History
a reader needs in one handy little handbook. Terry Deary reveals the terrible
truth behind the lousy pirate legends and lies. So forget the brave heroes
swinging from masts and the handsome young men sailing the seven seas, for
this is history at its most horrible! Readers can decide who was the baddest
of the bunch in the top ten of putrid pirates, discover why the women pirates
were just as wicked as the men and learn to talk the patter of a pirate. Plus
there are foul facts on the ships they sailed, the punishments they suffered and
the rules they lived by. Now the nasty bits are at your fi ngertips!
