0/5 ( ratings)

One of the books from the Series of Griffin Pirate Stories by Sheila K. McCullagh. The Griffin Pirate Stories are a collection of books written as a scheme for primary schools during the 1970s-1980s by Sheila K McCullagh. The books spanned 2 series numbering 20 titles in total, though a separate stand alone book entitled "Pirate I Spy" was also released as part of the same scheme. The central characters are three pirates: Benjamin the Blue - the heroic one. He is the only one of the three pirates to differ appearance-wise from the other two - he has blond hair instead of black, he is clean shaven, he wears a Headscarf instead of a black Bicorne, and is the only one of the three pirates to wear merely a shirt, and no jacket. His shirt and trousers are even, unlike the other two pirates, different shades of blue - his shirt is a light shade of blue, and his trousers are a darker shade. However, he wears black boots, which the other two pirates wear. Since he wears blue , his favourite diamonds and jewels are blue sapphires. Roderick the Red - the stout one. He wears a black Bicorne and boots, and sports black hair and a black handlebar moustache. He wears a red jacket and trousers, and black boots. Since he wears red, his favourite diamonds and jewels are red rubies. Gregory the Green - the lanky one. He wears a black Bicorne and boots, and, like Roderick the Red, sports black hair and a black handlebar moustache. He wears a dark green jacket and trousers, and black boots. Since he wears green, his favourite diamonds and jewels are green emeralds.
