Description
From the team that brought you The Witch's Table comes another hilarious and charming story about what exactly makes a pirate a pirate!
I am a pirate, so I guess pirates do.
The crew aboard the Leaky Sneaker is filled with the piratey-est pirates ever to sail the seven seas. Which is why Captain Bogbrush has no idea what to do with Montague Frippington von Fancypants. Montague wears petticoats while sailing, takes pearl necklaces as booty, and politely plunders on raids. Pirates don't do that! Or can Montague help the captain understand that there is more to being a pirate than what he might believe?

Melinda Beatty has had years of practice trying to explain to others why she was just having an imaginary conversation between two people that don't exist, so becoming a writer seemed like the best way to stop everyone from looking at her funny. After years of narrowboat living on the English canals, she and her British husband are now back on dry land in Maryland, where by day, she's a mild-mannered indie bookseller, and by night, she wrangles words, crafts projects, and raises a Labrador and two fierce miniwomen.

He studied hand-drawn animation in Torino, then moved to London for six years where he started working as a freelance illustrator for animated productions and publishing. In 2005 he co-founded the indie studio SenzaTesta, as he's also a stop-motion puppet maker and filmmaker. His best confidant is a gray cat called Mandragola.
