Bonus: Free audio book: Buccaneers and Pirates of our Coasts

As part of Random Magic Tour: Pirates!, it’d be fun to swap some great pirate yarns - or just listen to a few great tales about the sweet trade, the black flag, pirate queens or the Brethren of the Coast.

On this blog, you can listen to the audio book Buccaneers and Pirates of our Coasts, by Frank R. Stockton. Here’s a quick summary of this intriguing batch of true stories:

‘Often humorous, sometimes chilling, always intriguing, these true stories describe the exploits of such notorious maritime marauders as Blackbeard, Henry Morgan, Jean Lafitte, Captain Kidd, and other lesser known but equally cutthroat brigands. Stockton writes of a grim subject in a spirit both comic and romantic.’ - The Dictionary of American Biography

If you enjoy the stories, you can download a free MP3 version of this classic book:

 About Random Magic:

When absent-minded Professor Random misplaces the main character from Alice in Wonderland, young Henry Witherspoon must book-jump to fetch Alice before chaos theory kicks in and the world vanishes.


Along the way he meets Winnie Flapjack, a wit-cracking doodle witch with nothing to her name but a magic feather and a plan. Such as it is.


Henry and Winnie brave the Dark Queen, whatwolves, pirates, Strüths, and fluttersmoths, Priscilla and Charybdis, obnoxiously cheerful vampires, Baron Samedi, a nine-dimensional cat, and one perpetually inebriated Muse to rescue Alice and save the world by tea time.
