PORTIA THE PIRATE PRINCESS
4 primary works
Book 1
Portia is a reluctant princess, horrified by her father's idea of marrying her off to a boring prince. So rather than endure years of dull matrimony, she sells the family jewels, buys a ship and escapes to sea - with her ladies-in-waiting as crew. When Portia hear news that her favourite cousin is also being set up for an unsuitable marriage, she and her crew swing into action and set off to the rescue. Soon Portia's services are in high demand from indignant princesses worldwide. Pleas for escape are delivered by the ship's parrot, Squawk, to a P.O. Box - Portia Only. But while Portia's busy rescuing princesses, her own jilted groom has sent someone in pursuit of HER! Count Nasty's ship is on the horizon, and he's not giving up easily…
Book 2

She's being forced to marry wimpy Prince Norman of Moronia and is trapped in a tower to stop her running away. Embarking on a perilous mission to infiltrate the castle, Portia and cabin boy, Jim, smuggle Pandora down to her workshop where she knocks up an ingenious invention for their escape! But Count Nasty is lying in wait for Portia and he's determined to get revenge...

Then Pancake spots Agnes flicking through a Book of Potions - what on earth is the naughty nanny up to?
