Following the success of Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe composed another high adventure story at sea. The result was this lesser-known work, an inspired and highly entertaining first-hand account of pirate life. In response to an alleged letter accusing him of the worst possible actions, Captain Avery writes a response seeking to exonerate himself from all such charges. He considers it appropriate to provide a complete account of life as captain of a pirate ship. However, far from being the archetypal villain and murderer, his letters reveal that he is simply an adorable rogue, albeit with a penchant for fine jewelry.
