Another jolly story in the thoroughly reliable 'Gumdrop' series. This one, about how Dan, Mr Oldcastle and Gumdrop help an extremely inefficient pirate regain his treasure, is enhanced by some wonderfully comic drawings in true Val Biro style. Silly, but entertaining and well-told, this would be ideal for the rather older reluctant reader as well as for reading aloud or for young fluent readers to enjoy alone.
