Discovering Pirates is an authoritative book about pirates for 7 to 11-year-olds. It focuses on the golden age of piracy when notorious figures such as Blackbeard and Captain Kidd plundered treasure ships in the Spanish Main. In 13 superbly illustrated sections it covers all aspects of piracy, from who the pirates were and what they did, to their ships and weapons, their lore and language, their way of life, they way they shared and spent their booty, how they treated their hapless victims, and the fate that awaited them if they were unlucky enough to be captured by the Royal Navy. And follow the fortunes of a fictional crew of desperate sea dogs - will they capture their treasure or be defeated and slink away home empty-handed? Red Kite Books' Discovering series has two special features setting it apart from the competition: a story told in verse running along the bottom of each spread and a fantastic free gift tucked inside the back cover. In Discovering Pirates, the free gift is a Skull and Crossbones flag for pirate adventures.
