About
YOUNG BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE
PORT OF BRISTOL 1690
Book 3 of 6 – The curse of the lemonade stand
Here is the summary description of this book:
In 1690s Bristol, young Edward Teach-the boy who would become the infamous pirate Blackbeard-leads his crew in a daring lemonade stand scheme at the bustling High Cross market. Using stolen sugar and Anne Bonny's over-sweetened brew, they attract sailors and merchants alike-until a rival vendor accuses them of sugar theft, a crime punishable by transportation. Facing the constable, Edward spins a tale of the "Sugar Witch," a Barbados hag who curses their lemonade, and sells "anti-curse" potions (dyed with stolen cochineal) to the superstitious crowd. The deception works, earning them enough coin for future adventures while showcasing Edward's early knack for manipulation and theatrics-traits that would later define Blackbeard's reign of terror. The story blends historical details of Bristol's sugar trade and maritime culture with a playful origin for history's most notorious pirate, proving even legends start small.
This is the third of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this instalment, and it's only $3.
I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, accordion, fiddle, harmonica and bango in a classical sea shanty jig. The closing music ends the tale on a similar jig and at about 2 minutes with the same musical instruments but more upbeat looking forward to the next episode.
The story itself runs to about 13 minutes is is narrated in my own voice.
I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
