The Pyrates by George Macdonald Fraser
A high-seas swashbuckling romp in classic George Macdonald Fraser style“Its all there, right down to a Dead Man’s Chest, cleavages that are everything they should be and characters in sea-boots
who say nothing but ‘Arr!’ and ‘Me Hearty!’ in a plot that is wonderfully absurd”
Financial Times
“Fabulous…you’ll want to stay up all night reading this one”
Washington Post
“A sort of Christmas pantomime which incorporates every pirate story and nearly evey period melodrama ever written in a huge burlesque. I recommend this book with all my heart.”
Auberon Waugh
“The most wonderfully idiotic lovesong to swashbucklers ever set to Korngold trumpets. Fraser again proves himself a master”
New York Times
