The Old Pirate of Central Park

Two stubborn souls—a retired pirate and a retired queen—do battle in the sailboat pond in Central Park. Inspired by memories of his past, the Old Pirate has built a marvelous replica of his sailing ship, the Laughing Dog. But when he takes it to the park to launch it in the pond, he finds the waters are not so friendly—the S.S. Uppity Duchess is unwilling to share the seas. Who will rule the waves in this offbeat tale of high-seas adventure and friendship found in the heart of one of New York City's most famous landmarks?
