John Drawbridge has moved to Widemoat Castle to learn to become a knight & there is a LOT to learn How to charge with a lance on horseback without falling off Why the spiral staircases always go up in a clockwise direction How to defend the castle against invading parties Why the plates served at banquets are made from stale bread (and why you shouldn't eat them) & much MUCH more So it's no wonder that John decides to keep a diary (even if it is only an imaginary one) of his time at the castle Things REALLY liven up when the castle is attacked by an invading Welsh party
- but can John foil their plot before it's too late?
