Jack Plank Tells Tales

(1) 4-6 When failed pirate Jack's mates set him ashore, he washes up in a congenial boardinghouse. He turns down every proposal about making a living, explaining why with tales from an eventful past. Jack's audience is charmed by his fantastical characters, as readers will be by the author's sweetly ironical voice--colloquial, studded with deliciously unexpected words, and exquisitely honed.
