The Bravest Knight

About this book

I wish I lived a thousand years ago. There would be beautiful castles kings and queens good knights bad knights fair ladies in danger evil dragons from the mountains and a giant troll that roars and eats anything. What kid hasnt dreamed of living in fairy-tale timeshasnt imagined himself as the bravest knight in all the land (or at least the knights faithful squire). As he has done in his celebrated Theres a Nightmare in My Closet and its follow-ups Mercer Mayer brings childhood fantasy hilariously to life here. Bad knights are forced to pick flowers for the king a days adventure involves rescuing a cat from a tree and our hero boldly fights a fire-breathing dragon using his trusty slingshot. This silly charmer originally published in 1968 as Terrible Troll has been entirely redone in vivid color. Its a rediscovered gem with timeless appeal.
