Mr Davenport - the proprietor of the Quills and Sofas shop - has trouble writing his novel and heads to the Books and Branches Library to pick up a good mystery. What he finds instead is an In-Depth Guide To Better Writing. There are also pirates.
Davenport's real talent is not known to many ponies, and he would like it to stay that way. Due to a miss-delivered letter, Davenport's true talent may be revealed to Ponyville.
