Pirate history across oceans and eras

Katie Nelson’s collection brings together accounts of well-known pirates—including Blackbeard, Ching Shih and Francis Drake—and lesser-known figures such as Grace O’Malley and Sayyida al Hurra. Its historical subjects range from Julius Caesar’s capture by pirates to Russian river raiders and Nassau’s brief role as the Republic of Pirates’ capital. Alongside these stories, the book covers pirate flags and pieces of eight, connecting individual exploits with the material culture and places associated with piracy.

  • A good match for ages 9–12 interested in pirates and history.
  • Useful for young readers who enjoy collections of historical stories about both famous and less familiar figures.
  • Also suited to readers curious about pirate flags, pieces of eight, and pirate-era places.

Book overview

Set sail on the seven seas with this book about the most fearsome pirates the world has ever seen from Katie Nelson and Olivia Meikle.

In this collection of daring deeds and awesome adventures from history prepare to be flabbergasted by:

- The time Julius Caesar was kidnapped by pirates
- Ching Shih, the Chinese woman who was the most successful pirate of all time
- The Russian river pirates who lay siege to medieval towns!

Tales of Pirates includes sagas of famous pirates like Blackbeard, Ching Shih and Francis Drake, as well as stories of buccaneers you might not have heard of, such as Grace O'Malley, who went to sea disguised as a boy and Sayyida al Hurra, a Moroccan queen turned privateer.

Alongside the gripping stories you'll also learn about pieces of eight, different pirate flags, and even spend some time in Nassau in the Caribbean, the short-lived capital of the Republic of Pirates!

You'd better read it, or you'll be walking the plank...
