A prolific author who published over 500 novels, travel guides, pamphlets, and journals, he was best known for his 1719 adventure novel \u003ci\u003eRobinson Crusoe\u003c\/i\u003e. Soon after the enormous success of \u003ci\u003eRobinson Crusoe, \u003c\/i\u003e Defoe wrote this compelling account of high-seas drama featuring the antics of a lovable rogue and pirate known as Captain Avery. \u003cbr\u003eEnraged that a slanderous book has been written about him in England, Captain Avery responds with a fiery letter to set the record straight. His goal is to deny everything written about his exploits--and more important, to give his own spectacular account of how he survived by his wits in a series of swashbuckling adventures. In doing so, he draws a rousing portrait of pirate life--deadly deeds, buried treasure, and perilous journeys from South America to Asia. A thrilling tale filled with action and humor that reads like an eighteenth-century travelogue, this behind-the-scenes look at the world of a pirate captain and his crew will appeal to readers of all ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 8.44 x 5.54 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 18, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51756236046624,"sku":"9780486469157","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/81ca65ec3e83fdca7dfcb05e1c750b18.webp?v=1780077138","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-king-of-pirates-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
