Product Description
Product Description
Digory is an ordinary, quiet, dreamy and gentle boy. He likes playing his lute, singing songs and picnicking in the forest - quite unlike all the other boys in his village of Batty-by-Noodle. When he stumbles upon a large tooth while poking about in the sticks and nonchalantly tucks it in his hat, little does he suspect the awesome welcome he will get on his return to the village that day. Hailed as a hero for slaying a dragon (which, as we know, he never did) and hurriedly knighted for his courageous act, Digory is sent off on his deaf horse, Barley, to be a chivalrous knight and perform chivalrous deeds. Digory is not really a dragon slayer but, in spite of this fact, will he be able to live up to his name, save the day and the damsel of his dreams?
About the Author
Angela McAllister is the author of several picture books on the Bloomsbury list including the irrepressible Be Good Gordon. She lives in Hampshire. Ian Beck started work as a freelance designer and illustrator for consumer magazines and newspapers. He has designed album covers including Sir Elton John's 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road'. Ian is well known for illustrating many wonderful and familiar nursery rhymes as well as winning gold with three of his books in the Right Start Magazine Best Toy Awards. His first novel for children 'The Secret History of Thomas Trueheart' will be published by OUP in Spring 2006. He is a fantastic addition to the Bloomsbury Children's list.
