About This Book
King Arthur's Very Great Grandson introduces young readers to Henry Alfred Grummorson, a six-year-old knight-in-training with a noble lineage. On his birthday, Henry embarks on a quest for a valiant battle, only to discover that the mythical creatures he encounters, from dragons to leviathans, are surprisingly uninterested in fighting. This charming and humorous story subverts expectations, teaching children about perseverance and finding joy in unexpected outcomes. It's perfect for ages 4-8, offering a gentle adventure with a strong dose of whimsy and a positive message about adapting when plans go awry.
On his sixth birthday, Henry Alfred Grummorson, a descendant of King Arthur and would-be knight, sets out for adventure but neither dragon, nor cyclops, nor griffin, nor leviathan is willing to engage in a real battle.
