Description

Now, the actual-life adventures and the myths of the 18th century Pirate King Edward Teach have inspired a thrilling choice of biographical poems by J. Patrick Lewis—collected in a picture-book format on the way to quicken the pulses and fire the imaginations of young adventurers all over.

This dramatically illustrated book combines history, adventure, geography, and poetry in a treasure trove of rhymes about Blackbeard and his bloodthirsty seadogs. At the same time as Lewis’s swashbuckling verse celebrates Blackbeard’s mystique, the writer’s extensive historical note recovers the facts of Edward Teach’s life from time-encrusted layers of legend.

The spine-tingling poetry also explores many lesser-examined realities amid the mass of mythology inspired by Blackbeard. Every of these 14 poems is written in a distinctive style as Lewis explores different aspects of the pirate’s life.

Blackbeard’s seaborne reign of terror also roars to life in carefully selected historical prints, dating back to the earliest known images of the Pirate King.

Blackbeard: The Pirate King is a wealthy chronicle of the most notorious pirate to ever scour the oceans. It is a book to be plundered and treasured by young dreamers with imagination in their blood, poetry in their bones, and a thirst for adventure at the high seas.
