The Illustrated Pirate Diaries: A Captivating Account of Captain Morgan distills the 17th-century buccaneer classic into a visually stunning 192-page paperback that every age group can enjoy. Terry Breverton’s careful abridgement keeps A. O. Exquemelin’s eyewitness drama—treasure fleets, jungle ambushes, the sack of Panama—while adding hundreds of period engravings, maps, and full-color plates that make the story leap off the page. At 290 mm tall, the book is large enough to showcase the artwork yet still comfortable for bedtime reading or classroom sharing.
What makes this copy especially appealing is its immaculate, very-good condition: crisp, unmarked pages, no dog-eared corners, and a tight, square binding housed in the original illustrated dust jacket. Collectors and families alike prize this 2008 New Holland edition because it combines the authenticity of a primary-source narrative with the production values of an art book, yet remains far more affordable than rare first folios. No prior owner marks, ex-libris plates, or inscriptions mean the book is ready to slip straight onto a gift shelf or a display case.
Whether you’re a young reader hooked on pirate lore, a teacher building a cross-curricular history unit, or an adult searching for a handsome reference that doubles as a coffee-table conversation starter, this illustrated volume delivers. Keywords like “Captain Morgan,” “buccaneer history,” and “illustrated pirate book” keep it in constant demand—secure this clean copy while it’s still available.
