The King of Pirates Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Following the success of Robinson Crusoe, Defoe composed a further tale of high adventure at sea.

The result was the lesser-known The King of Pirates, an inspired and hugely enjoyable 'first-hand' account of pirate living.

In response to an alleged letter accusing him of the worst possible deeds, Captain Avery pens a reply seeking to exonerate himself from all such charges.

He sees fit to provide a full account of life as captain of a pirate ship.

Yet far from being the archetypal, murderous villain, his letters reveal him simply to be a very lovable rogue - albeit one with something of a penchant for fine jewels.
