## About this book

An elegant retelling of a gentle, little-known tale honoring the chivalric virtues of service and sacrifice is all the more beautiful for its understated quality. Beautiful watercolor and colored pencil illustrations were inspired by the 16th-century paintings of Hans Holbein. A visual treat.
