Pirates

[The Baron]

Ross's hunt for a name for his Pirate figure has jolted the old memory banks.

When I was at primary school we read a series of books on Pirates, all I can tell you is that each one was based upon a different colour. I wouldn't mind tracking them down, does anybody here know the title or author?

Found them! Well, found the answer anyway.

i remember this baron!

[The Baron]

All I can really remember is that I absolutely loved them. I'm fairly certain I didn't read them all.

[gung-hoeddie]

i can vaguely remember them, i always preferred the Mr men books though and meg and mog.

[Ross SC]

im pretty sure i only read series one, i recognise all these titles!
these were way cooler than the mr. men!

[Dave Tree]

I remember those, the blue pirate had blonde hair, the green was short and portly and the red was tall I think?

Never knew there were that many books though.

Oh my God !!!!! I remember those books now from school.

You just stirred up very old wonderful memories - Thank you

[The Baron]

Oh wow, Gregory the Green! That's the one I remember. I think the pirates used to hunt precious stones that matched their colour schemes.
