«The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists» is the humour novel by Gideon Defoe published by Bloomsbury Children's Books in paperback, with 224 pages.
In 1837, Pirate Captain and his motley crew tire of the routine on the high seas and end up helping the young Charles Darwin. The mission takes them to a foggy Victorian London, where an evil bishop, mysterious disappearances and a visit to the zoo complicate an increasingly absurd plan.
First instalment of the «The Pirates!» series, originally published in 2004 and reissued in 2012 as an edition tied to the Aardman/Sony animated film.
Recommended for readers aged 9 and up and for those who enjoy absurd humour and pirate adventures.
