Leo the mouse isn't like the other knights. While they like fighting,

he'd rather read a book. Leo's parents are keen to turn him

into a proper knight, so they pack him off on a mission to tame a

dragon. But Leo knows that books are mightier than swords, and he

tames not just the dragon, but a troll and a griffin, too - by

reading them stories.

With its witty rhyming text and glorious, detailed illustrations,

THE KNIGHT WHO WOULDN'T FIGHT is a joyful, magical picture book

about the power of stories.
