A Good Knight S Rest

The Good Knight's hard work has earned him a vacation, but his three little dragon friends come along and make the trip anything but relaxing. Full color.

The village of Anthonyville is in the middle of a drought. The villagers are slowly being starved by a terrible dragon who has stolen all the food the villagers have grown. The dragon left the villagers only beans to eat as he doesn't like beans. Tristan, a page, also doesn't like beans. They give him gas and send him running to the outhouse all day and night. Tristan decides it is up to him to slay the greedy dragon. With a lance and horse stolen from his favorite knight, Tristan leaves the village under the cover of darkness. Tristan knows that there are only two possible outcomes to his decision. Either he will slay the dragon and return home a hero or the dragon will slay him, in which case he will not return home at all.

Sir Lancelot goes missing on his way to save Queen Guinevere—and Merlin must investigate the baffling disappearance in this Arthurian mystery. King Arthur has just appointed a group of new knights to the Round Table—but Sir Meliagaunt is not among them. Embittered and feeling overlooked, Meliagaunt devises a mad plan to catch Arthur’s notice. He kidnaps Queen Guinevere, accuses her of adultery, and demands a trial by combat to prove his charge. Holding her prisoner at his fortified castle of Gorre, Meliagaunt hopes to force one of Arthur’s greatest knights to fight him. Sir Lancelot is the man for the task. But after hiding in a prison cart during his journey, he disappears… Once again, Merlin is called upon not only for his magic abilities, but for his investigative skills. Together with the newly knighted Sir Gildas, he must find Lancelot and bring him back to Camelot in time to save the queen from the stake.

From the Arthurian epic poem Parzival to Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and the Assassin's Creed video game series, the Knights Templar have captivated artists and audiences alike for centuries.

This study explores why these gone but not forgotten warrior monks remain prominent in popular culture; how history influenced the myth; and how the myth has influenced literature, film and video games.
