At the Guardian, he named a top ten list of pirate books.
One book on the list:Pirates! by Celia Rees (2009)Read about another entry on the list.
A novel for teenagers and, frankly, the rest of us, by one of the finest storytellers around. Rees recounts the story of Nancy Kingston and Minerva Sharp – two young fugitives from strikingly different backgrounds who join a pirate ship and embark on a wild life at sea. A book that manages to be both swashbuckling and intelligent at the same time.
