The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl
King Arthur's Very Great Grandson
A whimsical hero's quest by a valiant six year-old seeking adventure and finding not quite what he anticipated. Henry and his trusty steed, Knuckles, encounter Dragon, Cyclops, Griffin and Leviathan. Henry's exclamations are perfectly in character with the bravest knight, "READY YOURSELF! MONSTER! AND I SHALL HAVE ADO WITH YOU!" "I WANT SWORDPLAY! A STRUGGLE! A BATTLE TO THE UTTERMOST!" When tension mounts at the last confrontation with a similar result as previous, Henry realizes for a six year-old he has accomplished much, and found friends, too. A gentler Where The Wild Things Are for a new generation and a loving homage to the standard bearer.
