Whether you need rags or pantaloons, spinnakers or planks, you can be sure to find them at Pirateria. In this book-length advertisement for an imaginary pirate emporium, nonsense is the order of the day, with silly wordplay ("at Pirateria we put the 'arg' in 'bargain'!") and amusing rhymes. Brown's distinctive acrylics, in shades of greens and blues, play well with the characters.
