This is about about being pirate like by the people who started International Talk Like a Pirate Day, which is September 19th. It included the story of how they made the holiday, why it is the day it is, definitions to piratey words, info on famous pirates, info on how the be a little bit of a pirate (without all the sea travel and illegal activities), and more. It is done in a very conversational voice and included a foreword by Blackbeard and an intro by Dave Barry. It has all you need to know to celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day as well as a bit of things you might like to actually know about real pirates.
