Knight Sir Louis and the Dreadful Damsel

Knight Sir Louis has defeated dragons, goblins and evil wizards but when he is sent to do battle with the Damsel of Distresse, even he is not prepared for the mayhem that follows … A hilarious tale told with wonderfully bonkers illustrations and all sorts of inventive storytelling ways, a series for young readers who love funny books.

A fun and inventive story for middle-grade readers about a hapless but brave knight, combining words and pictures to brilliant and hilarious effect.

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.)
