Knight Sir Louis and the Dreadful Damsel

Product Information

Knight Sir Louis, by the Brothers McLeod, is a book that plays with the convention of being a book, as much as does tell a very funny, beautifully random story about a brave Knight who must defeat the huge robotic Damsel, and various other nefarious baddies causing mayhem in the kingdom of King Burt the Not So Bad. A ... huge thank you for coming to the Oxford Literary Festival last week and for the brilliant event. It was so much fun, and a terrific celebration of creativity. I know the grown-ups enjoyed it almost as much as the younger members of the audience, and they had an absolute ball!'

And there are plenty of other things happening. Like with a certain wizentor (was that the word) and what the Sinister Snowball is planning, or how King Burt goes a bit loopy in the head (even more than normal). Oh and Sharon! Hi Sharon! There are songs for walruses and a flying robot horse. But before Knight Sir Louis can defeat the snowball he is summoned to a school near a volcano (because hey, why not) and there he learns that these people are time travels. From a time where the plans of the giant snowball succeeded. They are desperate to fix this timeline and their timeline and it seems that Knight Sir Louis is just the hero needed! I had a laugh when he was sorted into houses and that there was a guy who was just so Malfoy. I know that we live in a time that HP stuff isn't really cool anymore, but I just loved this parody on it. I loved meeting various people and see Knight Sir Louis make a friend and get to training so he would be fully ready!

Creating Animation – how a TV animation is made – from idea to writing to storyboarding and animating – Secondary. King Burt the Not Bad is in a huff with his chief dragon-slayer, Knight Sir Louis. So when a stranger with piercing green eyes and a devastating smile arrives at Castle Sideways, King Burt is thrilled and demotes Louis to chief cleaner. But Louis is suspicious about the stranger, Squire Lyme, with his charming compliments and endless supply of green gummies … with the help of his friends Reader Catalogue, Pearlin, his haiku-loving steed, Clunkalot as well as a few ogres and gnomes, our hero determines to get to the slimybottom of things …can Louis’ calm courage once again save the day? Absolutely hilarious nonsense. I even forgive them for spelling my name wrong in the title, that’s how funny it is. ― Louie Stowell, author of the LOKI: A BAD GOD’S GUIDE series And then when things really get in motion? That was just oodles of fun and I was rooting for everyone! There were some plot stuff that I didn't expect and that had me go OMG YES! That is brilliant! The ending was just fabulous and it was all I wanted + more!

I loved the chapters and the little chapters in between when something happened that was worth mentioning. Like the chapter in which things go really bad. Or a chapter from the POV of the snowball. There are hilarious illustrations, laugh-out-loud comedy moments and a very inventive story that appears to centre around how evil potato magic is. Yep, that’s right. Evil potato magic. That alone should give you an idea about how cool this middle-grade comedy fest of a book is! Circle Square is an animated comedy about neighbours. Vanessa the Dragon, owner of the rainbow lighthouse, helps out with everyday dilemmas and each episode features a different friend needing her help (and sometimes she needs theirs!) The nine households in the community include a yeti, a family of emergency service owls, a keyboard and a drum, a family of wizards, a grumpy dog, an elderly adventuring bear and a couple of walking, talking pine trees. Their companionship also extends to neighbouring islands in the archipelago of the Wyndley Isles, and to friends and family who come to visit them.Thank you for today... The children were buzzing all day and have gone home inspired and ready to create their 6 panel stories! You are both ace and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Thank you for taking the time out of both of your days.' The double-headed dragon Borax is causing fiery mischief across the land. The only hope of stopping the fiendish lizard is a long-lost, ancient Thingamabob (a talisman with watery powers.) Who will find it? Who will come to the rescue. Well, obviously, Knight Sir Louis and his chums Clunkie the robot horse, Pearlin the Wizentor, Mr Catalogue the talking boar, and Dave the sword with a hat. Here, Greg gives us a sneaky peek at how he draws Clunkalot (or Clunkie as we like to call him) - Knight Sir Louis' trusty steed. Enjoy! However, my one complaint is that this is a book 5 in the Knight Sir Louis series and this is the first I've heard about it!! Where have I been!? THANK YOU SO MUCH for your AMAZING visit! The children and staff LOVED it and were so excited to see you and hear everything you had to say. We all really appreciate the time you gave, the different elements of the session and the brilliant resources you've shared. There is a real buzz around the classrooms and corridors and much excitement!'

Knight Sir Louis – storytelling and illustration workshop based on the Knight Sir Louis book series – key stage 2 I just wanted to say a huge thank you from the staff and children at Stratford Primary - they were raving about your workshop and had such a super time. All the teachers commented on how engaged the children were and what a great opportunity it was for them all. Thank you so much.'The Brothers McLeod will help the audience create a knight or wizard character, a comedy adventure story in six panels and show them how to draw Knight Sir Louis step-by-step. Based on the successful Knight Sir Louis books, this workshop has already toured successfully in a variety of Midlands' schools with authors aloud.

Without a doubt this everso slightly bonkers book is one of the funniest, most original and random pieces of children’s literature you will read this year! Knight Sir Louis is the bravest knight at King Burt’s court. He has defeated hungry dragons, evil goblins and horrible wizards (but please nobody mention wasps, Knight Sir Louis is absolutely NOT afraid of them). Along with his trusty mechanical steed Clunkalot, and mystical sword (known as ‘Dave’), Knight Sir Louis and his friends are sent to do battle with the Damsel of Distresse, who has been terrorizing the land.Knight Sir Louis finds himself dealing with strong enchantments and powerful magic (as well as potatoes...) and the machinations of his soon to be arch-enemy-nemesis: the Stripy Knight. We are happy to talk to a single class at a time, or a group. We’ve done up to 300 at once. 150 works well.
