Author Description

The Pirate's Treasure Chest is packed with first-hand information of what life would have been like on board a pirate ship. Children can read the journal of a 12-year-old boy, press-ganged into joining the ship. They can learn to tie sailor's knots, spot different types of sailing ships and follow the pirate's treasure map. Hidden within a secret compartment in the box, children will find replica coins, a pirate's flag, a bandana, an eyepatch and ship's rope.
