Dragon's Hoard

By Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell

Book Overview

"Wake up, Sir Knight
Wake up "
My eyes snapped open, and I sprang to my feet, drawing my sword as I did so.
There was the merchant, the whites of his terrified eyes glinting in the firelight. He was raving. "It's out there " he cried. "It's out there "
"What's out there?" I asked, placing a hand on his shoulder to steady him.
The merchant gripped my arm with both hands and drew his face close to mine. His forehead was drenched with sweat, his eyes were wide, his voice a little more than a whisper.
"The dragon, of course," he croaked.

Customer Reviews

excellent series

the third book in "A Knight's Story" by Paul Stewart, illustrated by Chris Riddell. written in first person. Sir Knight is drawn into a plot to discover treasure and is forced to deal with a shifty merchant.. a lovely maiden and a wretched dragon! Stewart's style of writing is sarcastic, realistic and extremely entertaining. his characters are colorful (which Riddell brings to life) written for a younger audience, just means they are meant to be entertaining.. writing for children is tricky.. have to hold their attention, they won't plow through a book like "grown-ups" will. definitely recommend.
