Book DescriptionAhoy me hearties! So you're thinking of running away to experience life on a gorgeous pirate galleon. Well, before you go be warned - a pirate's life isn't all fish and chips and treasure troves.
From parrot droppings to woodworm in the wooden leg, a life on the ocean wave wasn't all, plain sailing, you know. For starters there were the disease-ridden ships and the disgusting food. Not to mention all the other pirates out there just itching to try out their latest tortures.
John Farman leaves no stone unturned in this uproariously funny study of the rather unsavoury characters who terrorize the high seas.
