Sommario/riassunto |
|
From Long John Silver to Captain Hook, Blackbeard to Captain Kidd, pirates are the stuff of legend. Storylines have been based on these terribly charismatic cutthroats for decades, with varying degrees of fact thrown in. Incredible Pirate Tales captures the most audacious tales of actual and fictional characters who took up the "black flag" and a life of crime on the high seas. The second edition offers even more daring adventures for its audience. |
