Press Release Body = This is a humorous, spoof pirate adventure story, and concerns
a much beloved Pirate Captain named Nelson Square Jaw, and his search for a hidden
jewel - the Jewel of Essex. His quest is to retrieve this jewel and hand it over to
a gang of cut-throats who have taken hostage half of his crew as well as the
inhabitants of his favoured tavern in the quaint sleepy port of Certain Death. On
his journey he encounters actors masquerading as pirates, a cross-dressing Wise
Woman, sinister clowns, a very tall Welshman and a whole host of other colourful
characters.

This is "Book Juan" in The Ever-so Heroic Adventures of Captain Square Jaw series.


Excerpt from the book: As was usually the case in these reunions, this murderous
gang of cutthroats/background artistes were discussing all manner of things
piratical.
"So how does you thinks is the best way to get blood out of your tunics?" Bellowed
Captain Bit Part, in a manner and a rich baritone that suggested a lovely singing
voice. He was a Plumber in reality, but he was also a friend of the authors, who
had promised him a small part.
"Well, I says that you should be using a cleaning agent and let it soak for an
hour", said Captain Rhubarb, so called because he would say this whenever he had
nothing better to say.
"Oh, ee does, does ee?" said Captain Some Lines, really getting into his part,
"Well, I thinks you should use cold water and a good scrubbing brush, always works
for me!"
"If you ask me," said Captain One Line, eager for his moment of glory, "I thinks it
should be neither-you should just burn all of your bloodstained clothes along with
the ship you've just pillaged."
"Ah-har, oi agrees with One Line." Chipped in Captain Stereotype, (a character actor
who had his own Parrot and everything) before returning, typically, to his grog.
"Ah, yes but what do you do if your ship has taken damage worse than your opponents'
ship?" Queried Captain Mad, who really was a Pirate, and had sort of wandered into
the scene. He had swapped ships so many times, he couldn't remember which was his.
There was a moment's uncomfortable silence, as nobody had a scripted response to
this unexpected query.
