"Lots of funny fighting in Philip Ardagh’s inimitable style"
Interest Age 5-8
When Norman the Norman from Normandy’s dad, Great Big Norman, is killed in a fight (with ten Bretons from Brittany), Norman swears to visit every one of this dad’s three graves (long story) to pay his respects. He sets off with this dad’s HUGE sword on his not-very-wild boar Truffle and, without meaning to, indeed often without even noticing, avenges his father’s death.
If that sounds quite bloodthirsty, it sort of is, but more than that, in the hands of this gifted comedy partnership, it’s just very, very funny. Part of Barrington Stoke’s excellent Little Gems series, this packs more laughs and entertainment into its short extent than books three times the length.
High quality cream paper and a special easy to read font ensure a smooth read for all.
Norman the Norman from Normandy and his not-so-wild boar, Truffle, are off on a sword-swinging adventure! But little Norman has inherited his father's huge sword ... and that can only spell trouble. Join the jaunty duo as they travel all over Normandy slashing off heads, helping out a very tiny duchess and almost getting involved in the Norman Conquest of England.
