Description
Knight Sir Louis is the champion knight at Castle Sideways, and the bravest of all knights in all lands. Braver than Knight Sir Colin in the bogs of Wattasmel. Braver than Knight Sir Barbara in the mountains of Itso-Hy. Even braver than Knight Sir Gary from the soggy lands of Tippinitdown.
But Louis is modest. He says he’s not brave, but just good at staying calm when everyone else is going completely bonkers.
Along with his trusty mechanical steed, Clunkalot, and mystical sword, Knight Sir Louis and his friends are sent to do battle with the Damsel of Distresse who is terrorising the land, stealing coins of gold, silver and chocolate. But soon he finds himself dealing with strong enchantments, powerful magic, and evil potatoes… all in a normal day for this brave knight. (Just don’t mention wasps.)
A Note From the Publisher
From writer Myles and animator Greg (the team behind Milkshake's Circle Square), the brothers have created a hero for our times in Louis who must deal with despots and nincompoops in the very highest positions...
These books are especially good for struggling and reluctant readers. Give it to any eight-plus and see them chortle... with some lovely Monty Python-esque humour for their parents too.
