Mostly Books Meets...Gideon DefoeIn this episode of Mostly Books Meets, Sarah chats to author and screen writer, Gideon Defoe.
After graduating from what he refers to as a slightly pointless degree in Archaeology and Anthropology, Gideon worked in bars and at a range of temp jobs whilst he worked out what he wanted to do with his career.
His first book, ‘The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists’ was written to impress a girl and I hope that she was impressed because, not only did the book go on to be a huge success, four further books were published in the same series and...

OSU Libraries ReadAloud - 2011ReadAloud, February 17, 2011Erin Reilly-Sanders, a PhD graduate assistant teaching Children’s Literature in the School of Teaching and Learning, read from The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists b y Gideon Defoe, a crazy Monty Python-esque romp through the high seas with Charles Darwin and the pirate captain's ragtag band, and Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson, a juvenile novel that spills the beans on the real role of librarians. She also included an interlude of It's a Book by Lane Smith, a hilarious picturebook about technology, books, and a variety of interesting characters.
