Bookroo's summary
Two knights' dinner plans go awry when they find strange items in their stove, all linked to their missing friend, Harold. As they bumble through a series of slapstick mishaps, the mystery deepens: who would put a sword in the stove? With humor reminiscent of classic comedy, this tale promises a rollicking adventure full of unexpected twists. Can they solve the mystery and find Harold before it's too late?
From the publisher
Two knights have their dinner plans derailed as they discover object after object in their stove–objects that ominously belong to their missing friend, Harold–in this delightfully slapstick picture book. Someone has put a sword in the stove. Was it Eenie? Was it Meenie? Was it Harold? WHO WOULD PUT A SWORD IN THE STOVE!? Frank Dormer’s rollicking whodunit has bumbling characters worthy of The Three Stooges, sly humor straight out of Monty Python, and an irresistible screwball spirit all its own.
