Written in 1934, Shay based his work of the life of famed pirate Mary Read on the available histories. In this delightful novel she is depicted as a fetching pirate wench who roams the Romantic Carribees, despoiling shipping and taking lovers. Read lived disguised as a boy by her mother, from an early age, as an adult she proved herself in the military, and aboard ships. When a West Indies bound ship that she was on was taken by pirates, she was forced her to join them. In 1720 she joined pirate John "Calico Jack" Rackham and his companion, the female pirate Anne Bonny. The rest as they say, is history.

Top review from the United States

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2014
An interesting read, for those that like tweaked history & female heroines. The character in this book is always wearing men's clothes trying to pass for a man, & apparently that matches with reality. I think it's rather faniciful, but there are some real incidents mixed into it, however you can't tell what's real from these pages alone.

It's known that Mary Read did not survive her prison experience, within the last few pages here is that proposal that Anne Bonney walked out with Mary Read's child? Anne Bonney's path out of prison is not really known, but it is believed she left without facing the gallows.
