A Children's Book
THE LITTLEST
KNIGHT
Written and Illustrated by
Carol Moore
Once
upon a time long ago, even before
the days of King Arthur, there lived a blacksmith
only three feet tall.
He was so short that he needed a stool to stand on
to shoe the great
steeds of the knights. This bothered him not a bit
because although he
was small he was very brave. In fact, in
his heart he
secretly longed
to become a knight and win the hand of the
Princess. The Princess was the King and Queen's only
child and
it should come as no surprise that the little
blacksmith loved her very
much for she was both kind and beautiful.
She was even smaller than he,
and had dancing eyes and long
silken hair which she wore in a coiled
braid. But, alas, the little blacksmith could
admire the Princess only
from afar because she was, after all, a princess
and he but a lowly
blacksmith--not even that tall.
One day a terrible
dragon came to the
kingdom. Breathing fire on anyone who crossed its
path, it trampled
houses and burned fields. Many knights battled the
dragon but their
swords
could not cut its thick scales. Each night
it flew home to its
cave in the mountains surrounded by a deep
ravine.
