A wealthy amateur naturalist, fishing on his own estate and peering at a mosquito for his collection, finds his quiet afternoon overturned: he is taken captive, turns pirate himself, and sets sail for what his companions call the Spanish Main. Two boys with a ferocious taste for buccaneering, an old skipper named Peterson and a lady worth winning complicate the voyage.
A light-hearted adventure from the author of The Covered Wagon, playing the old pirate romance for gentle comedy. Download the free EPUB.
