"Captain Blood is a Dick Turpin of the High Seas, a seafaring version of The Scarlet Pimpernel, a Caribbean Zorro" (Kate Mosse from the introduction to the Vintage edition of 'Captain Blood')

"Buckles never swashed more dashingly" (John Sutherland Guardian)

"I liked the idea that the hero was also the villain. He was a pirate with a conscience and that idea was to be very strong in my books" (Eoin Colfer)
