A short and funny tale guarantee laughs out loud on every other page. However, at times it got a little too silly. I like the facts in the footnotes. One fact I learn is the exasperation freeze the ball off a brass monkey. To keep cannon balls from rolling on the ship deck. Brass plates were put under the cannon balls. When it gets cold out the brass contract and the canon ball will follow off. hangs the saying. Not at all what I through it was.
I type in Gideon Defoe in my library cataloged to see if they more of the pirates and the animated movie Pirates Band of Mischief was the only thing that came up. Make me wonder if the movie bases off of these books.
