From the publisher

This tale about King Arthur, a dwarf, the dwarf’s giant son, and a mother unicorn was originally the concluding episode of an Arthurian romance written in France in the Middle Ages, Le Chevalier du Papegau (“The Knight of the Parrot”). “An authentic Arthurian romance inspired this foray into fiction for Giblin. . . . Ewart’s vivid watercolors bring a sense of wonder to the tale.” – Kirkus Reviews
