BLIMEY!
It's something all pirates are taught when they're very young, but too many forget: never get on the wrong side of a librarian. Especially if the librarian is a lemming!
The bookish Sylvester Lemmington simply wants to hunt down the facts. Everyone else just seem more interested in hunting down Sylvester. Especially so, after he becomes the accidental owner of the most sought-after treasure map of all time. Now, Sylvester must deal with the humdrum of pirate life - voodoo magic, cannibals, lethal carnivores, mutinies and magical treasures. To make things worse, he's also being chased by the most ruthless pirate captain who ever sailed the seas of Sagaria, the charismatic fox Cap'n Terrigan Rustbane who really would like his map back. So, Sylvester better get his paws moving and get the treasure before it gets him! Oh, while he's at it, he might as well try to find his long-lost father, save his sweetheart Viola and rescue his hometown from the murderous rule of its callous mayor.
It's kind of a tall order for a small lemming but Sylvester is ready to face the challenges. It'sonly his future mother-in-law and her rolling pin that might be a bit of a problem...
