Pirate Spirit (Book) - 12/22/2007 5:56:37 AM
Pirate Spirit is a carefully composed short tale of historical fiction that goes down as smoothly as grog after a hard day’s work on a schooner. Based on the true story of Anne Bonney, a Caribbean pirate of the early 1700’s, Jeffery Williams’ first novel rolls the reader over the waves with a personal intensity that is captivating. Williams researched the unusual true story of how Anne Bonney disguised herself as a man and plundered English and Spanish ships as a member of a notorious pirate crew. With the assistance of his wife, Jeffery manages to tell the story quite fluidly from the perspective of a young woman in her rebellious teenage years. Fans of pirate tales and good fiction in general will love this storyline built around a larcenous character in early American history. Everybody loves a bad girl at least once.
