| Description: |
Leo isn't like the other knights. He'd rather read a book than fight, which is tricky when his parents send him off to tame a dragon. But Leo knows that books are mightier than swords - and the way to tame a dragon is to read him a story. With witty rhyming text and glorious illustrations, this is a magical picture book about the power of stories. |
| Synopsis: |
Leo the mouse isn't like the other knights. While they like fighting, he'd rather read a book. Leo's parents are keen to turn him into a proper knight, so they pack him off on a mission to tame a dragon. But Leo knows that books are mightier than swords, and he tames not just the dragon, but a troll and a griffin, too - by reading them stories. With its witty rhyming text and glorious, detailed illustrations, THE KNIGHT WHO WOULDN'T FIGHT is a joyful, magical picture book about the power of stories. |
