Captain teachum's buried treasure
- London Oxford University Press 2008
- A Korky Paul picture book .
Captain Teachum has a reputation as a wicked and terrible pirate. He has, so his readers are told, led a life of crime: capturing ships, making his enemies walk the plank, and burying stolen treasure all over the world. But then we discover some unexpected secrets about Captain Teachums home life: he is more than a little hen-pecked, he has twenty five children, and his memory is rather unreliable ... Hardly surprising, then, that Captain Teachum has not been able to find his buried treasure. So, by the time Captain Teachums story is finished and we see his mischievous grin as he lies in his hammock, were left wondering how much of his boastful bluster about past dastardly deeds is true and how much of it is wishful thinking!
