The False Adventures of Florentine Flowers, the Honest Pirate in the Service of Madame L.

Florentine Flowers is a good son of undoubtedly respectable parents from Norfolk. The young man is well-mannered and pleasant in many respects. Among his shortcomings are only a fervent imagination and a penchant for adventures, which, unfortunately, led him astray.... He could have been a notary and rested in the secluded quiet of a cozy office, but instead, he became a victim of pirates — desperate daredevils who love freedom, the sound of coins, and... books. Yes, you heard it right, books. The captain of the ship, of which Florentine has become a prisoner, values a good story more than a bottle of rum. And now, to survive among the sea robbers, Florentine will have to recreate the sunken library of Captain Bladdy B. In other words, write the great masterpieces of literature anew for this cutthroat. This task is not easy even for a bookworm like Florentine Flowers. However, it seems like this is the beginning of a good story... All hands on deck! The adventure begins!
