Download or read book Sir Bigwart Knight of the Wonky Table written by Alan MacDonald and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2012-12-20 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When King Eggnog rashly offers the hand of his daughter Princess Miranda in marriage, Sir Bigwart sets out on a daring quest with his faithful squire Toby in tow. The quest is to bring back a tooth of the Ogre of Ghastly Fell, a fearsome, flesh-eating giant whose breath is so bad it can knock you at a hundred paces and whose two heads are constantly squabbling with each other. Sir Bigwart's real talent is for empty boasting so he's going to need a lot of help from his resourceful squire on the way - which is a little awkward since Toby is secretly in love with Princess Miranda himself. To make matters more complicated, Miranda is bored of embroidering her dad's coat of arms on cushions - she's coming along for the ride and anyone who tries giving her orders had better watch out.

Download or read book The Stone Throwers written by Richard Meyer and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2024-09-16 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A group of children, a philosopher and a merman fight to save a bewitched island. Finding their spiritual home on a remote island threatened by a new hotel, two groups of somewhat misanthropic children have no choice but to fight to save it. Intuitive imagination and dogged curiosity unlock ‘marginal lands’ which lie beyond the reach of mere adults. In worrying adversity, they face and meet strange individuals and get caught up in surreal and bizarre happenings. Help comes from a laid-back American philosopher/painter who lives in an unearthly shack in the woods, and a merman who seems to have emerged from the deep. Increasingly alienated by darkening forces and adult greed, will the children manage to retain enough natural strength, naivety and good humour to see them through their adventures? Illustrated throughout by the author.

Download or read book A Secret Revealed written by Tanya M. Zbitnew and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2008-08-28 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rangers are looking for a few good men. Fame! Fortune! Glory! It's every boy's dream. Unless that boy is Camber Bloodstone, then those dreams of glory are crushed, just as you please, under the boot heel of Dega Darkhawk, former town bully and newly appointed Captain of Hartland's cavalry. He's bent on making Camber's life miserable, and not just because the Bloodstones are direct descendents of Thayne the Bold - no, Dega's hatred runs much deeper than superficial rank. All this bitter sentiment is about to take a backseat to something far greater than a personal vendetta. A nightmare unleashes an extraordinary gift, one that Camber would just as soon give back. This gift can level a small city, and that's not all - it can unlock the Winterstone. The Easterling King knows this - he will use the boy to deliver omnipotent power into the palm of his hand. Camber is now the prey in a deadly game of hunt and seek, and Dega, who swore his vengeance, must swallow his pride and protect his rival from the sorcerer. All hope hinges on an outrageous plot to steal the talisman and use it against the King. Lucky for Camber, help is on the way. A trip to fetch supplies sends the cadet and his hot-headed Captain straight into the arms of Stornoway Hawker and his spell-challenged apprentice. Toss in a jewel thief, a death-dealing elf, and a potty-mouthed faerie, then send them straight into the arms of the Easterling King. It's Good vs. Evil at its rotten best!
