Barefoot Books- LadyD: Barefoot Book of Knights

'Chivalry,' began Master William, 'is the code of behavior by which all knights try to live.'
Not just anyone can be a knight, and this spell-binding collection of action-packed stories from around the world will show you why. From the familiar court of King Arthur to the distant realm of Prince Vladimir of Kiev, this enticing collection reveals that being a good knight is harder than it may seem.
