A romp of a book with all the ingredients to keep a complete class on the edge of their seats as Prince Benedict Leopold Orlando Oswald Percival, aged seven, and (it has to be said) a rather unlikely hero, defends his kingdom against the motley crew of Big Bad Barons. We gallop along as Peter Haswell's verse and illustrations impel us to find out what will happen next. I have to tell you that it seems this desire doesn't diminish in young readers when you've read the book umpteen times!
