Publisher's Note Master storyteller Jane Yolen celebrates the true story of Anne Bonney and Mary Reade, the most famous female pirates in history. In 1720 everyone in Port Maria Bay had heard of the Vanity's pirating ways, but no one knew there were two brave women among the elusive pirate ship's crew. Dramatic, full-color paintings bring their story to life.
Industry Reviews "The authentic flavor of the lyrical verses and the repetitive images of the refrain recall the traditional sea chantey, while the illustrations by David Shannon are magnificent....This is a book to enjoy many times over, with new levels of pleasure each time you open it."
