THE LITTLE KNIGHT

by Elizabeth Johnson ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 26, 1957

Prince Peter and Princess Leonora are the hero and heroine of a new and amusing fairy tale with a sly plot. ""I won't be a lady and sew a fine seam. I will be a knight and follow my dream,"" declares haughty Princess Leonora when her father offers her in marriage to any knight who can capture the horn of the unicorn, drive the giant from the West Wood and get rid of the dragon at the North Border. In order to outwit the suitors, disguised as a knight, the Princess herself wins the three tests -- but only with the help of Peter who was convinced all Princesses were dull. Happy reading and a happy ending as Peter finds a Princess with spirit and Leonora finds that to have a knight is better than to be one. Third and fourth graders will find this easy reading.
