The Barefoot Book of Knights w/CD << Prev page
John Matthews
Illustrated by Giovanni Manna

What a treat to own a book bursting with knights -- from many different countries and traditions -- all setting off to grand adventures and acts of bravery and valor. Here is a treasure indeed for every aspiring knight in the family. I love the way each story is woven from a central story of Young Tom of Warwick, who is sent away from home to be a page at a castle where he can learn the art of chivalry and knighthood. Tom is homesick and doubtful about his abilities to be a good knight, until he meets kindly Master William, the Armorer. Master William is a superb storyteller, and the stories he tells Tom and the other pages help them understand that even the lowly task of washing mountains of greasy pots in the kitchen is part of being a true knight.

When the boys grumble about their tasks and training, Master William's stories teach them invaluable lessons -- ones that can rub off on the reader or listener as well! There are stories from Britain, Germany, Russia, Persia, France and Japan -- all different and intriguing. Perfect for reading aloud to younger children, and keeping older readers happy for hours, this is a book the entire family can enjoy for years to come.

The accompanying CD contains all the stories in the book.

Barefoot Books was founded 11 years ago by Nancy Traversy and Tessa Strickland, two mothers with a shared commitment to bringing exceptional art and memorable stories to today's children. Drawing their inspiration from cultures all over the world, Nancy and Tessa have always stayed true to their grassroots beginnings, crafting books that have been praised internationally for their integrity, beauty, and educational excellence.

At the heart of the Barefoot message is the importance of the imagination, for it is by imagining that children first learn to become innovative, expressive, and independent. Nancy and Tessa have set out to foster these qualities in their own children, and believe that their vision is one that is shared by many.

The Barefoot Books mission and story is infused with the same spirit that gave birth to Chinaberry many years ago. We are honored to offer this special selection of titles from a publisher whose books deserve a place of honor in every family library.

International Shipping:

We hope to offer you international ordering online soon. In the meantime, you may call 619-670-5200, fax 619-670-5203, or email us at customerservice@chinaberry.net with your order to find out what your shipping charge would be. If you are having your order shipped internationally, UPS requires that you include a phone number for them to contact for delivery information.

We ship international orders (except Canadian) via UPS International Air courier only. While this ensures your order will arrive very quickly (3-5 business days), it is also very expensive. (Shipping generally begins at about $50.00 for a one pound package and goes up with weight.)

As an affordable alternative, many of our international customers have their orders shipped to a friend or relative in the U.S who will forward the orders on to them.
