Norman the Norman from Normandy and his not-so-wild boar, Truffle, are off on a sword-swinging adventure! But little Norman has inherited his father's huge sword ... and that can only spell trouble. Join the jaunty duo as they travel all over Normandy slashing off heads, helping out a very tiny duchess and almost getting involved in the Norman Conquest of England. But first, a boiled egg for breakfast ...
"Philip Ardaghs extra-silly sense of humour is on full display this is a perfect little package for emerging readers who like their stories seriously funny" -- BookTrust
"He may be only small, but Norman packs a punch, and so does his book!" -- Books for Keeps
