Pirates: A Nonfiction Companion to Magic Tree House #4: Pirates Past Noon by Mary Pope Osborne

4.0

This book gives a great overview of pirates from Ancient Greece through the Golden Age of Piracy. It includes types of ships, famous pirates, and other pirate facts, all without overly romanticising them. I just wish there had been a few pages at the end bringing piracy up to the present rather than claiming it became nothing more than stories after the invention of the steamship.
