Captain Pugwash [Jan 01, 1957] Ryan, John

Review

The stories are wonderfully told: simple, clear language that stays on course... and of course the illustrations are so enduringly distinctive, with Pugwash of the late Pavarotti-like proportions.

(Book Magazine)

Pirate tales never date and this one will be popular with young readers who will be enlivened not only by the writing but also by the numerous, vigorous and colourful illustrations. Additionally there is a CD; Jim Broadbent tells the story engagingly and is accompanied by a crew of pirates, and specially composed music and maritime sound effects.

(Ibby Link)

The distinctive illustrations are lively, quirky and full of fun and add to the straightforward and tongue-in-cheek, amusing text. Added to this is the CD of the story narrated by Jim Broadbent's warm tones and accompanied by a very jolly sailor's hornpipe. Certain to be enjoyed by readers and listeners of all ages.
