Pirates: Monkey Troubles
Pirates: "Monkey Trouble" or "The Ring of Hope"
When Monk doesn't return promptly from his mission to find Captain Paul, Peter is sick with worry. And to make matters worse his dreams of a mysterious bottle with a note inside has a message that is deadly and more real than Peter could have imagined.
"Monkey Troubles" is a funny and engaging short story, it was written with a younger audience in mind. As Daryl came up with more and more ideas, the story began to grow. He would eventually add 150 pages filled with twists and turns in and around the original story. The extended version of the delightfully silly tale “Monkey Troubles” went on to become a big hit and what older readers know now as
“Pirates: The Ring of Hope”.
