When the mean and rotten pirates raid a ship they get more than they expect in the form of treasure when they find an abandoned baby girl. Violet - Vile for short - soon becomes the apple of every hardened pirate's eye and life on the oceans becomes a lot more interesting for the crew of the Sleek Sally. The Pirates have to teach Violet all sorts of pirating tricks, but she has a few things of her own to teach this world-weary crew. An exuberant story with bold, bright illustrations from a very talented artist.
