Description
Leo the mouse isnt like the other knights. While they like fighting, hed rather read a book. Leos parents are keen to turn him into a proper knight, so they pack him off on a mission to tame a dragon. But Leo knows that books are mightier than swords, and he tames not just the dragon, but a troll and a griffin, too by reading them stories. With its witty rhyming text and glorious, detailed illustrations, The Knight Who Wouldn't Fight is a joyful, magical picture book about the power of stories.
