Pugwash and the Ghost Ship by John Ryan

Pugwash and the Ghost Ship by John Ryan

The famous Black Pig, home to Captain Pugwash and his crew is in desperate need of a spring clean. But what begins as a simple exercise in painting and decorating soon leads to a plot so dastardly that it looks as if the Captain's days are numbered. Luckily, young Tom, the cabin boy, has a brainwave. And so Pugwash, the most famous pirate of all, survives yet again to sail the Seven Seas.

The stories are wonderfully told: simple, clear language that stays on course.. and of course the illustrations are so enduringly distinctive, with Pugwash of the late Pavarotti-like proportions. Book Magazine

Before his death in 2009 aged 88, John lived in Rye, Sussex, the home of smugglers in years gone by, with his wife Priscilla, who is also an artist. He has three children and a regular crew of grandchildren.
