Written by: Vivian French

Illustrated by: David Melling

Sam J. Butterbiggins’ only ambition is to be a Very Noble Knight, but he has a problem – he’s been packed off to the castle next door to stay with his uncle, aunt and cousin Prune. But Sam’s about to discover a magical scroll listing the six quests he must complete to become a knight …and with Prune’s help, he’s already managed three of them! Now he has to earn his very own knightly shield. Prune knows where to go for armour: Puddlewink Castle! But before they can cross the drawbridge they’re stopped by a terrifying creature. Will Sam’s knightly dreams end here?
