The Bravest Knight
| AUTHOR | Mayer, Mercer; Mayer, Mercer |
| PUBLISHER | Dial Books (05/10/2007) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Hardcover (Hardcover) |
What kid hasn't dreamed of living in fairy-tale times--hasn't imagined himself as the bravest knight in all the land (or at least the knight's faithful squire). As he has done in his celebrated There's 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 day's 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. It's a rediscovered gem with timeless appeal.
