Prince & Knight
by Daniel Haack
When a King and Queen decide it's time for their handsome and sincere son to marry, the three of them set off on a quest to find a suitable bride. the Prince meets a lot of suitable girls but has no interest in any of them; he tells his parents he wants someone special to rule with him. While they are traveling and looking for a bride, word comes that a dragon is attacking their kingdom. The Prince immediately hurries home to defend the realm. Luckily, a Knight in shining armor comes along to help just when the Prince needs it most. After tying up the dragon, the Prince loses his balance and begins to fall...right into the arms of the Knight on his horse. And yes, it is love at first sight. The two men marry and live happily ever after. Haack has written a wonderful take on the usual Prince Charming/Knight in Shining Armor trope and the result is a much needed, delightfully endearing alternative. Lewis's bright, animation-style illustrations will no doubt remind readers of all the Prince/Princess Disney movies they've ever seen and books we've become so accustomed to as the defining image of fairy tales nowadays. This, however, is a lovely magical book. Pair Prince & Knight with King & King by Linda de Haan for some real royal fun.
