Knights, Maidens and Dragons: Six medieval tales of virtue and valor (1998, 2011)
The virtues: Faithfulness, courage, patience, chastity, thankfulness, honor, tenacity and others are illustrated in these jewel-like allegories starring teenagers in King Arthur's England, Saudi Arabia, China, Russia and Scotland.
These six enchanting stories set in Scotland, China, Arabia, Russia and at King Arthur’s court in England will capture your heart with their wonder and wisdom. First created at the turn of the 20th century, these Victorian-era tales retold from the Little Colonel books have been rewritten for today's reader, retaining all the beauty of the originals. Purity before marriage, patience in adversity, faithfulness in small things, and sacrificial love and courage in despair are some of the virtues displayed in these new spiritual classics. Knights, Maidens and Dragons is illustrated with more than a dozen full-color gorgeous artworks created by renowned illustrator Diana Magnuson.
Author Sigmund Brouwer called these tales “faithful, imaginative storytelling that inspires.” These books are especially popular among homeschoolers and kids who love to hear how children their age managed to overcome great obstacles and never give up.
