The Pirate and the Princess

Real pirates are nasty people, so this is obviously a work of fiction, but it's a fun one. The princess is flighty and mischievous, but she has a brain and a kind heart. The pirate is strong and brave. The characters are likable and fun to read. The plot concentrates more on the light-hearted elements and less on the villain, but the only plot holes I found were minor enough to ignore in favor of the excellent writing.
