Jenny, I thought of you yesterday whilst reading the Guardian and a review of this book:

Treasure Neverland: Real and Imagined Pirates by Neil Rennie (OUP)

Thanks! Although it does cover pretty well-trodden ground. And of course, only mentions two female pirates (but at least Mary Read is mentioned--everyone is forgetting her these days). Doesn't mean I don't want it of course. Now to see if it's published here and if any of my friends who used to work for OUP still know people there, I'll be set! :-)



Speaking of pirates, lately I've been mainlining Assassin's Creed  4, subtitled "The Black Flag".  Lots of historically dubious piratey goodness!
