Win some marrrrrrrrvelous plunder!

Play to win one of these great piratey prizes, by carrying off the most doubloons:

#1 - A cuddly pirate and a wild read (doll and book package prize)

Blackbeard pirate doll

Description: Adorable plush doll, about 12 inches (30.4 cm) high, a cuddly version of the infamous Blackbeard.



Shown above: Depiction of Blackbeard in the documentary,
Blackbeard: Terror at Sea.

About Blackbeard: Edward Teach (or Thatch), nicknamed Blackbeard, was an English pirate and terror of the West Indies and the American colonies. His nickname derived from his thick black beard, reputedly braided and tied with small colored ribbons.

The sight of his ship, Queen Anne's Revenge, was enough to make most ships surrender without a fight, yet those he captured, he held unharmed. His greatest success was the blockade of Charleston, South Carolina in 1718, when he ransomed the entire population.

About Random Magic: When absent-minded Professor Random misplaces the main character from Alice in Wonderland, young Henry Witherspoon must book-jump to fetch Alice before chaos theory kicks in and the world vanishes.

Along the way he meets Winnie Flapjack, a wit-cracking doodle witch with nothing to her name but a magic feather and a plan. Such as it is.

Henry and Winnie brave the Dark Queen, whatwolves, pirates, Strüths, and fluttersmoths, Priscilla and Charybdis, obnoxiously cheerful vampires, Baron Samedi, a nine-dimensional cat, and one perpetually inebriated Muse to rescue Alice and save the world by tea time.

#2 - A dashing corsair to accompany you everywhere

The Dashing Corsair
Stage character pirate puppet

Description: What a dashing corsair! Swashbuckling pirate puppet features details like an eye patch, doll hair, a saber and a hook-hand.

At 12 inches tall (30.4 cm), he features full-hand animation from inside.

This stage character puppet has a white shirt, brown vest and pants, dark brown boots, red and brown striped head band and long black hair. A great finger puppet with a workable head and hands.

Design reported to be discontinued in 2009 and is now a potential collector’s item. Plus he’s cute.
