Bookroo's summary
William's new toy castle holds more than meets the eye. When a tiny knight springs to life, he finds himself swept into a world of sorcery and danger. With a dragon and an evil wizard threatening this enchanted realm, William must navigate a fantastical quest. Can he rise to the challenge and save the day, or will the forces of magic prove too powerful? Adventure awaits as William discovers the true power of his mysterious gift.
From the publisher
One of the classic fantastical adventures of all time!
William has just received the best present of his life—an old, real-looking stone and wooden model of a castle, with a drawbridge, a moat, and a fingerhigh knight to guard the gates. It’s the mysterious castle his housekeeper has told him about, and even though William is sad she’s leaving, now the castle is his! William can’t wait to play with the castle—he’s certain there’s something magical about it. And sure enough, when he picks up the tiny silver knight, it comes alive in his hand! Sir Simon tells William a mighty story of wild sorcery, wizards, and magic. And suddenly William is off on a fantastic quest to another land and another time—where a fiery dragon and an evil wizard are waiting to do battle. . . .
