You Wouldn't Want to Explore With Sir Francis Drake

It is 1577 and you are about to set sail with Sir Francis Drake - privateer, explorer and enemy of the Spanish Empire. What begins as a secret mission quickly becomes a perilous voyage around the world, packed with storms, mutiny, shipwrecks and stolen treasure.
Told in a humorous second-person voice, this gripping guide plunges readers into life aboard the Golden Hinde. From battling scurvy and crossing the Strait of Magellan to raiding Spanish ships and navigating the vast Pacific, children experience the dangers, dilemmas and daily realities of Tudor exploration first-hand.
Filled with comic illustrations, vivid historical detail and "handy hints" for surviving at sea, this book brings Elizabethan adventure to life. Perfect for engaging KS2 readers with the Age of Exploration, Tudor England and the story of the first English circumnavigation of the globe, it supports independent learning with a glossary and index.
