Frank Stockton's satirical pirate tale journeys around the Caribbean locales of Barbados, Jamaica and Belize. It begins with Kate Bonnet's father as a gentleman planter. But Major Bonnet decides to become a Pirate. The well-known pirate Blackbeard is also a significant figure in Stockton's novel. The title character, Kate Bonnet, is the daughter of Major Stede Bonnet, an educated soldier-turned-planter, who also becomes a pirate. Kate Bonnet is a very beautiful young woman who attracts many suitors. She is inclined to only a few, and is greatly distressed about her fathers new line of work, being a Pirate of the Caribbean. She goes to live with her uncle and takes her young friend Dickory and his mother along, and all of them go after Stede Bonnet and try to straighten out his ways.
