The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists by Gideon Defoe

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists by Gideon Defoe

It is 1837, and for the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain and his rag-tag pirate crew, life on the high seas has gotten a little dull. With nothing to do but twiddle their hooks and lounge aimlessly on tropical beaches, the Captain decides it's time they had an adventure. A surprisingly successful boat raid leads them to the young Charles Darwin, in desperate need of their help. And so the pirates set forth for London in a bid to save the scientist from the evil machinations of a diabolical Bishop. There they encounter grisly murder, vanishing ladies, the Elephant Man - and have an exciting trip to the zoo.

'Gideon Defoe definitively puts the "Ho ho!" - and, indeed, the "Yo!" - into pirating' * Caitlin Moran *
'A short, deliriously funny novel about incredibly stupid pirates and ham. . I've had to grow a luxuriant beard to conceal the grin that's been compromising my dignity since I read it' * Ardal O'Hanlon *
'Hilarious. Destined to become a classic of pirate comic fiction' * Eric Idle *
'Very funny, very silly and highly original' * Esquire *

Gideon Defoe lives in London. He wrote this book about pirates to impress a girl. You can visit the Pirate Captain's website at www.piratecaptain.co.uk
