Knight Elby: And the (Almost) Impossible Quest

A hilarious adventure with a thrilling dragon-sized quest, featuring Knight Elby and his friends, with short chapters ideal for reading aloud at bedtime.   Meet Elby, a young and hopelessly heroic knight whose valiant heart is matched only by his knack for losing his sword at the worst possible moments. With the help of his friends, Elby is determined to rescue the enchanting Princess Eleni from the clutches of the menacing Queen Concenta Cylmus.   Knight Elby the Brave is a laugh-out-loud, edge-of-your-seat tale packed with thrilling scrapes, bizarre twists, and the kind of mental gymnastics that might make your head spin. From narrow escapes in crumbling castles to outsmarting riddling trolls, Elby’s quest is a whirlwind of action and hilarity. But beneath the sword-swiping (when he can find it) and dragon-ducking, Elby’s story reveals the true courage of friendship, determination, and believing in yourself—even when you trip over your own armour.   This uproariously funny, action-packed rollercoaster is a must-read for adventure lovers, laugh-seekers, and anyone who’s ever felt like they’ve misplaced something important… like a sword. Highly recommended for knights of all ages!   ·        An undiscovered classic now translated into English for the first time, this Hebrew bestseller by a former Israeli Prime Minister was first published in Israel in 1998 almost 30 years ago. ·        Thirteen black and white full-page illustrations showcase the story’s wit and humour and complement the reading-aloud experience.   Inspired by the author’s love of Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark and The Princess Bride, this is a funny and empowering story of knights, dragons, princesses and friendship.
