Summary

Boris von der Borch is a mean, greedy old pirate – tough as nails, through and through, like all pirates. Or is he?

When a young boy sneaks onto Boris's ship, he discovers that Boris and his mates aren't quite what he expected.

Critic Reviews

'The chief appeal of Tough Boris is hidden in the many tales it does not tell. Its real plot is in the pictures and in the minds of young readers, who will want to soak up every detail.' (The New York Times Book Review)
'Kids are sure to enjoy puzzling out the real story from the pictures, to which, in the end, the text's childlike stereotyping makes an amusing contrast.' (Kirkus Reviews)
