Daniel Defoe's (1660–1731) collection—a classic of world literature, the author of "Robinson Crusoe"—opens his classic work on one of the most captivating chapters of world history. From it, the world learned of the famous sea robbers—William Kidd, Avery, and Teach (aka Blackbeard); and the pirates—Mary Read and Anne Bonny. We've read about these buccaneers and corsairs in adventure novels and followed their twists and turns in our favorite movies. And from this book, we learn the whole truth about them! For a long time, its authorship was attributed to "Captain Charles Johnson" (his name appears on the title page of the original). Researchers, however, have concluded that "Captain Charles Johnson" is one of the many pseudonyms of the great English writer Daniel Defoe. The collection also includes the exciting adventure novel The Life and Pirate Adventures of the Famous Captain Singleton, based on the biography of the 17th-century pirate Henry Avery.
