The Letter for the King by Tonke Dragt

5.0

Lovely fairytale - like quest, written post Lord of the Rings and therefore taking some of its flavour from it, but wonderfully simple, richly coloured and quietly entertaining. A tale of a young squire about to become a knight who has to carry a secret message across the mountains to the kingdom in the west, it's story is old fashioned and wholesome and very satisfying. So much so that when my son read on ahead, I had to pick it up after him and finish it myself!
