The Nearsighted Knight

The Princess Ethelrude was UNmannerly and UNsightly, the king said - and worst of all, she was UNwed. The UNwed part made her brother Todd especially gloomy. Until the princess was married, Todd must remain in the kingdom, unable to roam the wide, wonderful world. So, in an uproarious conspiracy involving magic and near-magic, Todd works with a very unusual knight, dragon, and witch to rid the Princess Ethelrude of her UN's and get her "wed." Black-and-white drawings by Adrienne Adams contribute even further merriment to Mary Francis Shura's vastly entertaining story, full of fun and surprises.
