Items related to Captain Slaughterboard Drops Anchor
Captain Slaughterboard is the most ferocious and wicked pirate you could ever imagine. He likes nothing better than cutting people up with his cutlass or making them walk the plank. Then one day, on a remote island, he spies a strange Yellow Creature - and from that time on, he's a changed man. How he loves the Yellow Creature! They become the best of friends, always together, sailing the oceans. But will Captain Slaughterboard ever drop anchor for good? First published over sixty years ago, this swashbuckling pirate fantasy by the author and illustrator of the classic Titus Groan trilogy has been newly designed in this delightful picture book edition.
