Life

After graduating from the University of Oxford in archeology and anthropology , Gideon Defoe worked as a bartender in London for some time . Since he saw no future prospects for himself, he wanted to go back to university to do his doctorate . Instead he wrote with The Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists, his first book to “impress a girl” according to his own words. Four more volumes followed, and the 2012 film Die Piraten! - A bunch of weird guys wrote the script, which is his first two volumes of The Pirates! includes. After the British director Peter Lord read the books, he really wanted to film them, which is why Defoe has been involved in the production since 2009.
