YOUNG BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE

PORT OF BRISTOL 1690

Book 5 of 6 – The Ghost of the Back Garden Lagoon


Here is the summary of the Story:

In 1690s Bristol, young Edward Teach (the future Blackbeard) and his crew investigate eerie splashing sounds from a rain barrel—rumoured to harbour a ghost. Armed with lanterns and nerves of steel, they stage a midnight raid, only to discover the 'spectre' is a magnificent frog with luminous eyes. Edward, ever the showman, declares the amphibian their new mascot: 'Captain Croaker.' The crew transforms an old fish tank into a pirate lagoon, complete with miniature shipwrecks and a tiny Jolly Roger. Through this adventure, Edward demonstrates his knack for turning fear into opportunity—a skill that would later define his reign as history's most theatrical pirate. The tale blends authentic period details of Bristol's maritime culture with childhood whimsy, showing how Blackbeard's legendary leadership began with simple backyard adventures and loyal friends.


This is the fifth of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this fifth instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price.


the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes being accordion, fiddle, harmonica and bango in a classical sea shanty jig. The closing music ends the tale on a similar jig and at about 2 minutes with the same musical instruments but more upbeat looking forward to the next episode.


The story itself runs to about 30 minutes is narrated in my own voice.


I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
