The Dragonwoods
Children & Young Adult, Children's Books, Children's Books Age 8+, Children's Books Adventure / Crime
Robert and Tim have travelled back to the time of the knights before, and Robert is itching to go there again – after all, what else is his magic sword for? But on this occasion, instead of finding themselves with their plucky friends at Castle Wackerburg, the boys touch down on the wrong side of the valley – at Castle Wolfeck, the stronghold of the scuffling Robber Knights! It’s just as well they land in the middle of a bushy hedge in the ill-kempt castle grounds where no one can see them. Cowering in the foliage, Robert and Tim discover something has really set the cat amongst the pigeons. A princess travelling in disguise – the first one in ages plucky enough take the road past Wolfeck – has vanished. But this time the Robber Knights are innocent! Legend tells of a dragon in the woods below Castle Wolfeck with an appetite for princesses. Is it still there? And if so, can Robert and Tim rescue the princess?
