This work was published in 1724, under the pseudonym Captain Charles Johnson, by an unknown British author, usually assumed to be Daniel Defoe. This work is the prime source for the biographies of many well-known pirates of that era and shaped the popular notions about pirates of the day. Included are Blackbeard, Black Bart, Jolly Roger, Anne Bonny (aka Anne Bonn), Edward Teach, Henry Avery, Mary Read, and many more.

A Vital Piece of Early Investigative Journalism
Revisado: 03-12-20
Anyone with burgeoning interest in the golden age pirates and the era in which they lived and worked should give this a listen. The language is now three hundred years old and all the more fascinating for it, providing a vital insight into how an authority of the time viewed pirates.
-One can only imagine how fascinated the people of London were by the subjects of this book, although that seems contrary to Captain Johnson's intention.
-It should be noted that the book is attributed to a Captain Charles Johnson, and that whether or not that was a pseudonym we hardly have enough evidence to authoritatively claim it was written by Daniel Defoe.
-John Lee's excellent performance provides the language with a flowing vitality.
