Product Description
An exciting addition to the Horrible Histories series, these titles will tackle all the hot historical topics in a new full-colour format with durable cover. Beginning with the perennial favourite Pirates, they're all the Horrible History a reader needs in one handy little handbook. Terry Deary reveals the terrible truth behind the lousy pirate legends and lies so forget the brave heroes swinging from masts and the handsome young men sailing the seven seas for this is history as it's most horrible! Readers can decide who was the baddest of the bunch in the top ten of putrid pirates, discover why the women pirates were just as wicked as the men and learn to talk the patter of a Pirate. Plus there are foul facts on the ships they sailed, the punishments they suffered and the rules they lived by. Now the nasty bits are at your fingertips!

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   31 of 33 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars 'Everything you need to know about pirates, 6 Feb 2007 By  A B CeDar - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    all the gore and more!' Terry Deary has turned learning into real enjoyment, and this history book series is no exception. 'Want to know:- How to talk the patter of a pirate? The disgusting details of death by a thousand cuts? Which potty pirate hacked off his own ears and made his enemy eat them?' Durable and vividly illustrated cover opens to 94 high quality pages, split over handy sized chapters:- Introduction Lousy legends and lies Nasty names Top ten putrid pirates Perilous pirate timeline Lousy loot Wicked weapons Terrible tactics Wicked women pirates Cut-throat cruelties Rotten rules Pirate ships Pirate losers Talk like a pirate Fly the flags Foul facts Pirate punishments Dire deaths Epilogue 'Interesting Index' - Hang on! This isn't one of your boring old indexes. This is a horrible index. It's the only index in the world where you will find `vomiting cows', `mopping-up brains', pickled heads' and all the other things you really HAVE to know if you want to be a 'horrible historian. Read it and creep.' A colourful handbook, written in a variety of texts, packed full of information, e.g. :- 'The pirate flag was often called the `Jolly Roger' - that is from the French `jolie rouge', or `pretty red'. The first pirate flags were red. The other name for the pirate flag was `Captain Death'............' Look out for the new title, too, - Horrible History Handbooks - 'KNIGHTS', also by Terry Deary and illustrated by Martin Brown. 'History has never been so horrible!'
