Sir Boris the Brave and the tall tales princess - Marc Starbuck

Play along with the story with your own sword and shield inside the book!

Sir Boris the Brave is the boldest, bravest and busiest Knight in all the land. He's always busy despatching dragons, jousting with giants and toppling trolls.

Sir Boris is busy removing a particularly pongy piece of goblin poo from his shoes when an urgent message arrives from Princess Tilly Talltales. It's an emergency! She's been captured by an ogre, told-off by a witch and there's a dragon on the loose. But something is not quite right . . . is the princess actually telling the truth?

A hilarious tale of silliness, bravery and crying wolf by debut author Marc Starbuck and illustrator Becka Moor.

The book comes with an amazing press-out sword and shield, so children can dress up, play along with the story and become their very own knight in shining armour! Perfect for fans of the Princess Smartypants series or anyone who loves a fairytale with a twist.
