Bill Badger and the Pirates is a children's novel with a canal-side setting, written and illustrated in 1960 by the prolific author Denys Watkins-Pitchford,[1] who wrote under the pseudonym "BB".[2]

The plot revolves around the release from prison of Bill Badger's sworn enemy, the cat Napoleon, and his attempt to capture Bill's barge, Wandering Wind. The novel blends a stirring story with deeper moral issues.[3]

Bill Badger and the Pirates is the third in the Bill Badger series, which ran to nine books over a decade from the first in 1957 (Wandering Wind, reprinted as Bill Badger and the Wandering Wind).
