The Rarely Told Story: Pirates as Radical CommonersKester Brewin, a teacher of mathematics in South East London, was wondering why his son has been invited to countless pirate-themed birthday parties, but not any aggravated robbery themed parties. What’s the reason for our fascination with pirates?
