Illustrated by
Lee Wildish.
Despite his scrawny frame and low birth, Thomas dreams of knighthood. When a visiting knight sees promise in him, Thomas grabs onto each challenge--from taking care of his donkey to rescuing missing Princess Eleanor--with gusto. Wildish's amusing black-and-white drawings jibe well with the rollicking tone of Crum's tale featuring a hero filled with bravery, quick wits, and heart.
