Written and illustrated by Patrick O'Brien
Seven-year-old James wants to be a brave and noble knight like his father. He dreams of the day that he, too, will wear the golden spurs that symbolize knighthood. But before his dreams are realized, James must work for seven years as a page and for seven more as a squire, learning to ride, hunt, and fight.
With an exciting battle, a lavish feast, a rowdy tournament, and even a courtly romance, The Making of a Knight traces young James's journey from page to squire to knight. Put on your helmet, strap on your sword, and prepare to be swept away to the heroic age of chivalry!
