About this Item

2008 Weidenfeld & Nicolson cardcover, London, 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINT. Book unread, as new in FINE/FINE condition. SIGNED DATED WITH A SMALL DOODLE BY AUTHOR to title page, . The Pirate Captain and his merry band of ne?er-do-wells face off against their toughest?but by no means their tallest?challenge yet. Crushed with disappointment at the Pirate of the Year Awards, our Pirate Captain decides that it?s time for a career change. And so with his loyal (if soon-to-be-dismayed) crew, he sets off for St. Helena, a bleak speck of an Atlantic island a thousand miles from anywhere. But the Captain?s plan for a quiet island life of beekeeping (yes, beekeeping) is interrupted by the arrival of a new ?visitor? to the island?the recently deposed Napoleon Bonaparte. Will the island?s twenty-eight-mile circumference be big enough to contain two of history?s greatest egos? Has the Pirate Captain finally met his match? And, lest we forget the most important question: which of them has the best hat? The Pirates! In an Adventure with Napoleon is a swashbuckling tale of lavish tea parties, planning regulations, educational museum exhibits, and naked political ambition. And?unlike all of its thrilling predecessors?there is not much ham involved. NOW A MAJOR FILM - The Pirates! staring HUGH GRANT & SALMA HAYEK by the team responsible for the CHICKEN RUN.
