In days of old And times gone by, When knights were bold And castles high,
There lived in the town Of East North Devon A little boy Whose name was Kevin-- A smallish lad, Not quite eleven.
Like so many David and Goliath tales, here we see a small boy face a town's fears all alone. Confront the monster. Kill the beast. End triumphant and brave. A truly inspiring story of a little boy who aspires to be a knight. He may not be tall or strong or ride a noble steed, but he has a heart that is full of courage and bravery. The poetry in this book of Adelaide Holl is very moving and reads aloud beautifully. There is a good deal of humor and silliness to balance with the more serious business of fighting a dragon. A story no child will ever tire of hearing. |
