![]() ![]() ![]() It should also be noted that he knew nothing about sailing prior to becoming a pirate. He was factually known as "The Gentleman Pirate" because of his own behavior, yet his association with Blackbeard, who was certainly no gentleman, is well documented. So many things in Bonnet's real life story seem unexpected, contradictory, perhaps even unbelievable, but they were true. The author built a romantic story around Bonnet's real life with a fictitious tale of why he turned to pirating even though he was a well educated, wealthy landowner, married and with children. The story is based on a real pirate, Stede Bonnet, who was executed in 1718. Tyndall certainly did her "homework" for Timeless Treasure. ![]() When I read historical fiction, I want historical accuracy. It is an exceptional historical fiction that I would highly recommend. However, Timeless Treasure is more than a great story. She is one of my favorite authors because I know I can depend on her for a great story with clean content. I have read several books by Tyndall and always loved them. The book, Timeless Treasure by MaryLu Tyndall, took me by surprise! ![]()
