Granny O'Malley, a rough and tumble sixteenth-century female pirate from Ireland, recounts her mischievous adventures at sea with a focus on her tame meeting with England's Red Liz (Queen Elizabeth). The character's expressive facial features portrayed in gouache on watercolor paper give feeling to the dull text. An author's note and citations for selected sources are appended.
