Publisher's Summary:
Cutlass held high above his head, tangled beard shining black as the deepest night, the Pirate King struck fear into the heart of any sailor fool enough to venture out onto the high seas. This daring buccaneer may have been born with the name Edward Teach, but the swashbuckling terror would forever be known as Blackbeard. Tall as a waterfall and strong as a rum-soaked cask, Blackbeard lives on in countless tales of seafaring exploits.
Blackbeard the Pirate King shines light on man and myth alike with rhyming verse that captures his very essence. Included in the collection are stories of Blackbeards youth through his demonic reign as Pirate King.
Award-winning author J. Patrick Lewis has written more than 45 books for children.

My mistake... wanted Blue Beard.. ...
My mistake...wanted Blue Beard...not Black Beard...this book for older kids. Keeping.
My DAUGHTER loves it
I bought this for my daughter who, despite being a real 'girlie-girl', took a huge interest in pirates. She thoroughly enjoyed reading about Edward Teach - was particularly fascinated by Teach's practice of putting lit matches in his hat. And I am elated that she is interested in something not pink or glittery. Well written and illustrated.
A great book for another Grandson!
Jimmy will love reading this book. As always, once again, Amazon has found the right gift for me to give!!
yo ho yo ho
I bought this for the background information and the Maitz cover, well, mostly for the latter.
Thrilling
This book assumes you already know a lot about Blackbeard.
J. Patrick Lewis writes poetry to tell Blackbeard's biography, and uses artwork from many eras to illustrate the book. It's interesting and fun, but it is difficult to tease the biographical information out of this book.
As a work of literature, this is dynamite, but as a biography, it may not be the best choice. Lewis does include a timeline at the end to summarize the known facts of Blackbeard's life, and the small captions on each page are good. But things like putting fuses in the hat - I had never heard that legend before, and this book did not address it, although many illustrations showed it. Some context for those blazing fuses would have been a good addition, even if it meant including a page on the legends of Blackbeard.
