Another hilarious sword-swinging adventure of little hero Norman from the riotously funny comedy dream team in a full-colour Little Gems package.
Norman the Norman is at it again! And this time the Duchess of Normandy is determined that her William should have little Norman helping with this "Conquest thingy". After all he is Normandy's bravest broadsword swinging hero! But can Norman even make it to the boat on time? Or are there other adventures to be had with robbers, giants, a messenger called Barry, and Matilda the very small Duchess… An enticing combination of historical facts, supposition, slapstick humour and authorial asides. Comic genius.
"Norman the Norman from Normandy is rapidly becoming my favourite Philip Ardagh character … Perfect reading for anyone who appreciates the silliness of existence" – LoveReading4Kids
"Ardagh is a master of tongue-in-cheek humour and this wonderfully anarchic story – which contains plenty of slapstick fun and real history – will have youngsters rolling with laughter all the way across the Channel!" – Lancashire Evening Post
