The Lady and the Squire by Terry Jones

The Lady and the Squire by Terry Jones

'In some ways.' Tom thought to himself as he lay bound and gagged in the back of an old wagon that stank of rotting fish, with a pile of turnips dumped on top of him, 'things have improved.' Tom's adventures continue as he finds himself employed as a squire to Henry, Duke of Lancaster. His quest to become a knight continues, with his dream of winning tournaments and travelling distant lands, but first he must escape the clutches of a kidnapper, a cannibal, many guards and even a band of bandits.  Oh, and he also falls off a palace wall, down a well and in love (oops!) and makes a total mess of the Pope's dinner! A rip-roaring adventure full of fun and humour, pleny of peril and even some history.

Terry Jones was perhaps best known as a scriptwriter and member of the Monty Python team. He was a successful historian, performer, director and writer for film, radio and television. His children's books have been enormously popular, including Bedtime Stories, The Knight and the Squire, The Lady and the Squire, Nicobobinus and The Saga of Erik the Viking.
