There's enough real history mixed in with quirky pirate lore to entertain most pirate fans, and the design of the book is rather nice and user-friendly, too. There are pictures and illustrations interspersed throughout the text, ranging from movie stills to instructional diagrams to amusing illustrations.Īll told, I think this would make a great gift for boys (especially those who are reluctant readers) and for pirate aficiandos it would also make for a fun quirky coffee table book, and certainly come in handy on International Talk Like a Pirate Day. There are also the less expected tips on things like How to Disguise Your Gender* or How to Cope with Mermaids. There are the things every pirate should know, like how to climb rigging or properly insult someone ("feculent maggot" being my personal favorite, followed closely by "salty wench"). This was a pretty fun book, mixing real pirate lore and superstition with elements from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, in a how-to style.
