PUGWASH GHOST SHIP - Hardcover
The Black Pig, home to Captain Pugwash and his pirate crew, is in desperate need of a spring cleaning. But what begins as a simple exercise in painting and decorating soon leads to a dastardly plot dreamed up by the Captain’s arch-enemy, Cut-throat Jake a plot so dastardly that it looks as if the good Captain’s days are numbered! Kipper me capstans! As usual, the intrepid cabin boy Tom has a brilliant plan to save the day. How Captain Pugwash survives to sail the Seven Seas is a tale that delights readers young and old.

About the Author:
John Ryan was born in Edinburgh and spent his early childhood in the U.K. and Morocco before moving back to England, where he worked for seven years as Assistant Art Master of Harrow School. Captain Pugwash first set sail over 50 years ago as a strip cartoon. Since then he has featured in books, films and theatres all over the world. Before his death in 2009 aged 88, Ryan lived in Rye, Sussex, the home of smugglers in years gone by, with his wife Priscilla, who is also an artist. He has three children and a regular crew of grandchildren.
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.
