Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Of Captain Mission is a classic pirate fiction by Daniel Defoe that includes the following prelude: Defoe has been recognized as the author of A General History of the Most Notorious Robberies and Murders of the Pyrates since 1932 when John Robert Moore suggested that the alleged The author, Captain Charles Johnson, like Andrew Moreton, Kara Selym, or Captain Roberts, was just another mask for the creator of Robinson Crusoe. Although most of the first volume is of minor literary importance, the second section that appeared in 1728 as The Story of the Pyrates began with a life "Of Captain Misson and his crew," one of the most notable and neglected works of fiction in Defoe. In the same way and at the same time that John Gay was satirizing the Walpole government in The Beggar's Opera.Defoe began using his pirates as a commentary on the injustice and hypocrisy of contemporary English society. Among Defoe's gallery of pirates are Captain White, who refused to rob women and children; Captain Bellamy, the revolutionary proletarian; and Captain North, whose sense of justice and honesty was a reprimand for government corruption under Walpole.

Timothée de Fombelle and Isabelle Arsenault capture the heart-wrenching cost of war for one small girl in a delicately drawn, expertly told tale. While her father is at war, five-year-old Rosalie is a captain on her own secret mission. She wears the disguise of a little girl and tracks her progress in a secret notebook. Some evenings, Rosalie’s mother reads aloud Father’s letters from the front lines, so that Rosalie knows he is thinking of her and looking forward to the end of the war and to finally coming home. But one day a letter comes that her mother doesn’t read to her, and Rosalie knows her mission must soon come to an end. Author Timothée de Fombelle reveals the true consequence of war through the experiences of small, determined Rosalie, while acclaimed artist Isabelle Arsenault illustrates Rosalie’s story in muted grays marked with soft spots of color — the orange flame of Rosalie’s hair, the pale pink of a scarf, the deep blue ink of her father’s letters. All the more captivating for the simplicity with which it is drawn and told, this quiet tale will stay with the reader long after its last page is turned.
