Synopsis
Being a good knight is harder than it seems! Not only do you need a brave heart, a strong arm, and a keen eye, but also, you need to know your weaknesses, cooperate with others, and be undaunted by defeat. In this story-within-a-story we join young Tom of Warwick as he embarks on his noble adventure of becoming a knight. Under the guidance of Master William, Tom learns the ways of knighthood, comforted by the legends of those who've come before him. Stories in this collection hail from Britain, Germany, Russia, Brittany, France, Japan, and Persia. It is written and collected by John Matthews, expert in Celtic and Arthurian legend and history and the author of "Arthur of Albion" (HB: 9781846860485) and the "New York Times" best-seller Pirates books (Carlton). This multicultural collection is framed by a story about an aspiring knight, whose values children can relate to as they delve into these fascinating tales.

'Once again Barefoot Books have produced a book that is at the same time attractive, full of entertaining stories, and informative about a particular topic, in this case the concept and history of knighthood.' --Montessori International
'The latest in Barefoot's handsomely illustrated themed collections of stories is amiably illuminated with stylized watercolours in pretty hues... This is a book to capture any child's imagination.' --The Sunday Times
'The Barefoot Book of Knights uses a collection of tales to give an insight into the process of becoming a knight while featuring stories about the adventures of knights from around the world. The anthology follows the training of young Tom of Warwick by Master William, who educates the knights-to-be on the importance of not only being brave and strong, but on the necessity of knowing your own weaknesses and learning to co-operate with others.' --Child Education
