| Opplysninger | Treasure Neverland examines the actual facts of eighteenth-century pirate life and explores how real pirates' life-stories were subsequently transformed into realistic and fantastical fictions. Grounded in extensive archival research, Neil Rennie's book offers a captivating account of the figure of the pirate in popular culture, comparing the roles of factual and fictional pirates. Fascinating accounts of "real-life" piratical figures, such as Captain Kidd, Mary Read, and Blackbeard, are presented alongside detailed examination of imaginary stories and characters like Long John Silver and Captain Hook. The aim, in other words, is to watch the long dissolve from Captain Kidd to Johnny Depp.
