Maybe Abigail doesnt have to be so ladylike after all.Packed with historical detail about the Atlantic slave trade, the ravages of empire and human cost of providing luxuries like sugar, cotton and tobacco to Europe, Blackbeards Treasure is a page-turning, swashbuckling adventure which takes a look at the real pirates of the Caribbean.
