Julia Eccleshare's Pick of the Month July 2016 David McKee’s delightful Melric and the Crown has the same charmingly playful qualities as his best-selling Elmer stories. This time Melric the crafty magician uses his magic to outwit the evil Sondrak and save the King from embarrassment at the all-important annual Ceremony of the Crown.
Busy pages of the King’s loyal subjects going about their business and the endearing gnome goldsmiths being bossed about by Sondrak provide an engaging background to the drama. ~ Julia Eccleshare
