Knights Clash in Epic Poem for Young Readers
The Legend of Albion by Joseph Sherman uses rhyming verse to tell the story of Prince Albion and his quest to reclaim his throne
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (MMD Newswire) March 6, 2009 -- The Legend of Albion by Joseph Sherman uses rhyming verse to tell the story of a young prince's quest to reclaim his throne. Aimed at young readers, the book emphasizes that wisdom is the most important virtue a leader can possess. Armed with it, Prince Albion eventually reclaims his father's throne, proving that right can overcome might.
"It's not just another story about sword-fighting knights," Sherman says. "It's really about character and compassion. Also, the poetic style adds color to the words, making the story more fun to read."
Rescued by a brave knight while his father's castle is under attack, young Albion survives to become king. But before he can return home, he must survive a series of dangerous encounters and learn the skills that will enable him to restore his kingdom. Along the way, Albion triumphs over a riddling wizard, tames a dragon, recruits an army of knights and even falls in love.
Written as an epic poem, the story unfolds in a series of lyrical verses. The book also features original full-color illustrations depicting Albion and his adventures.
