One Knight Fallen

One Knight Fallen is a mixture of high drama and low comedy. It will resonate with young readers, and amuse those who were once young. Roger is the half-wild 15-year-old son of a 13th century forester. Raised in the isolation of the Ardennes, he has never seen anyone but his father, his stepmother, and his two hateful stepbrothers. He begins his first person narration of One Knight Fallen with the discovery of a wounded man lying in his father's storeroom. The man is Sir Aelfred. As he heals, he fills Roger's head with tales of Chivalry and battle. When Sir Aelfred departs, Roger goes with him and takes his first steps to a life of adventure.
