Book description
> Together they embark upon a journey that leads them away from
Switzerland into the bowels of Oxford, and finally to the forbidding
heart of eastern Europe. It is an adventure that will force the Pirate
Captain to confront some important questions, namely: what is the secret
behind his mysterious belly tattoo? Is 'Zombuloid, the corpse-beast' a
better name for a monster than 'Gorgo: Half-man, half-seaweed'? And,
most importantly - what happens when a pirate finally falls in love?
Women in diaphanous nighties running down corridors! Brooding men with
dark hair! Sinister taxidermy! Ghostly banging noises! The Pirates!
In An Adventure with the Romantics

up as a sexy fireman.> Gideon Defoe definitively puts the "Ho
ho!" - and indeed, the "Yo!" - into pirating Caitlin
