Publisher's description
Pirates a'plenty are gathered at the infamous Faithful Bride tavern in the pirate haven of Tortuga, and as the night wears on and the rum keeps flowing, tales of Captain Jack Sparrow and his cohorts spill forth from drunken pirate mouths. These six stories are a kind of Canterbury Tales for the seafaring, swashbuckling set&mdash;and fans of comics and Pirates everywhere!
