Princess Swashbuckle

Description

Once upon a time, in a far off land and place, there lived a frog princess - with a green and slimy face. Her name was Princess Swashbuckle - swashbuckling was her game. She was swashbuckling by nature, and swashbuckling by name. Her royal mum and dad want Princess Swashbuckle to marry a prince, but they never turn into frogs when she kisses them ... So instead she stows away on a pirate ship. When she is captain, she and her motley crew find a way to help creatures everywhere they go. And soon they amass a treasure hoard, from thank-you gifts. A story about following your dreams, Princess Swashbuckle also shows that kindness reaps its own reward!
