This swashbuckling collection of pirate tales is brimful with drama and adventure on the high seas. Children will meet fierce characters such as the captain in German tale, Kobold and the Pirates ; others, like young Mochimitsu, in the japanese tale, are friendly and funny. Also meet the infamous lady pirate, Grace O'Malley, one of the Ireland's most feared pirates. Some of them are based on the adventures of real pirates ; others are the inventions of storytellers from long ago.
