Description:
Of all the knights in Merrie England, Sir Tumbleweed is easily the clumsiest. Terrified of horses, hopeless at jousting, and even more nervous around dragons, he seems like the least likely hero around. Everything changes when he crosses paths with a kindly, if evil-looking, witch, who introduces him to two unusual new friends: Arthur the lion and Spearhead the unicorn. With their support and encouragement, timid Sir Tumbleweed slowly finds the courage to face his fears, take on the fearsome jousting champion Sir Basil the Beastly, and set off in search of a dragon and a damsel to rescue. A funny, warm-hearted fantasy adventure about friendship and unexpected bravery, from the beloved author of The Sheep-Pig (filmed as Babe), told with plenty of humour and heart for young readers.
