About this listen

Who were the real pirates? The truth is far darker than the legends.

For centuries, pirates have been romanticized as swashbuckling adventurers, sailing the seas in search of treasure and glory. But the reality of piracy was brutal—filled with theft, violence, and terror. The Big Questions: What Are Pirates? takes young listeners on an immersive journey through history, exploring the rise of piracy, the ruthless attacks, and the fearless naval forces that fought to stop them.

This gripping, sensory and cinematic book separates fact from fiction, revealing:

The Golden Age of Piracy and the truth behind famous pirates like Blackbeard

How pirates raided ships, enslaved crews, and left destruction in their wake

The navies and warships that hunted pirates and crushed their strongholds

How Britain led the global fight against piracy and the transatlantic slave trade

Why pirates still exist today—and how modern navies battle them on the high seas

With a powerful, immersive narrative, this book is perfect for young explorers, history lovers, and adventure seekers. It challenges myths, sparks curiosity, and leaves listeners with a lasting sense of awe.

If you’re ready to discover the real pirates of history, sail beyond the Hollywood fantasy, and uncover the battle that still rages on the oceans today, then this is the book you’ve been searching for!

Buy now and set sail on an unforgettable adventure!
