Excellent color illustrations by the Author. CONTENT: Whether you call her Granuaile or Grania or Grace, or Granny O'Malley as Faulkner does, the sixteenth-century Irish pirate led a life full of stories. She narrates this one herself, beginning with her childhood on her father's pirate ship, to her first marriage and her return to pirating. Her son Toby grew up to be captured by Elizabeth I, who Granny calls Red Liz. In a fabulous scene of manners and mores, Granny-stages a rescue. She promises to raid Red Liz's ships na' more, but she can't quite keep her word. Faulkner uses a rich palette in strong gouaches to create evocative seascapes and cityscapes, and he accents the telling with characters whose features and gestures are slightly exaggerated. This is a nifty pirate story, as well as a sparkling tale of two strong women. K-Gr 3.
