This review is from: Dragon's Hoard (A Knight's Story, No. 3) (Hardcover)
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. |
