Very much in the style of Templar's groundbreaking "Dragonology", "Piratology" i
s the 1720 work of Captain William Lubber, Pirate Hunter General to the Admiralt
y, and contains a similar variety of recreations and novelties, such as a real c
ompass set into the cover, a hidden treasure map, a working sun-dial, a page of
foiled, embossed doubloons and pieces of eight and much more. Lubber is also hot
on the trail of wicked pirate Arabella Drummond, her cut-throat crew of sea dog
s and her ship's cat, the redoubtable Mr. Teach.
"Pirateology" follows the en
ormously successful "Dragonology", "Egyptology" and Wizardology", which have eac
h sold over one million copies worldwide.
