(3) K-3 Translated by Anthea Bell. Illustrated by Kerstin Meyer. Princess Violetta, who has trained as a knight, is angry when her father announces that she will be not a competitor but the prize in a jousting contest. She finds a way to compete anyway--and strike a blow against sexism. Written with panache and delicately illustrated with images inspired by the Bayeux tapestry, the book makes its point in an original way.
