(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Kim Gamble. Every year pirates abduct and enslave all the twelve-year-old boys in Horrendo's village. Horrendo, "cursed" by a wise woman to always be polite and kind, engineers an escape from the pirate ship for all the boys and helps discover a buried treasure. Though overlong, the farcical tale will still amuse pirate fans. Humorous illustrations accompany the boisterous text.
