How old do you have to be to enjoy Arna and the Pirates?

Arna and the Pirates is an epic tale set in the tropical seas. Driven by strong female characters these are stories that combine political intrigue, social comment, toilet humour and a little bit of magic here or there. There are subplots, back stories, action adventures and emotional betrayals. Characters often aren't just good or bad, they're a mix of conflicting feelings, motives and needs.

How old do kids need to be to enjoy Arna and the Pirates?

Well the stories can be dark at times. People die. Someone loses an eye when a hawk snatches it out. People are fed to tigers. These things only happen every now and then and there's plenty of light-hearted fun and emotional exchanges to balance it out.

So it very much depends on the child. I've been telling the stories to my 5 and a half year old daughter and she wakes up each morning talking about the episode from the evening before. I spend about 2 hours a week writing new chapters just to keep up with the never-ending demand from her for more stories.

And now I'm sharing them with you.
