The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists Summary

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists by Gideon Defoe

Just make sure we've got plenty of hams on board. I didn't really enjoy our last adventure much because we ran out of hams about halfway through. And what's my motto? I like ham! 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.

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists Reviews

'A timber-shivering adventure that speaks to the pirate in all of us' * Ben Schott *
'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 *
'Gideon Defoe definitively puts the Ho ho! - and, indeed, the Yo! - into pirating * Caitlin Moran *
