Captain Teachum has a reputation as a wicked and terrible pirate. He has, so his readers are told, led a life of crime: capturing ships, making his enemies walk the plank, and burying stolen treasure all over the world. But then we discover some unexpected secrets about Captain Teachum's home life: he is more than a little hen-pecked, he has twenty five children, and his memory is rather unreliable . . . Hardly surprising, then, that Captain Teachum has not been able to find his buried treasure. So, by the time Captain Teachum's story is finished and we see his mischievous grin as he lies in his hammock, we're left wondering how much of his boastful bluster about past dastardly deeds is true and how much of it is wishful thinking!

소개 :	1951년 짐바브웨에서 태어난 유명한 그림책 작가예요. 40권이 넘는 「마녀 위니」 시리즈 말고도 수많은 어린이책과 시집에 그림을 그렸어요. 자신이 ‘세계에서 가장 위대한 초상화가’일 거라고 굳게 믿고 있지요. 또 세계 여러 나라를 돌아다니며 어린이들을 만나는 걸 좋아해서 우리나라에도 왔었어요. 부인과 함께 영국 옥스퍼드에 살면서 남아프리카 공화국식 바비큐인 ‘브라이’를 꾸준히 만들어 먹곤 하지요.
