The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of….

This is a tale of castles, a chivalrous knight who puts God first, princesses in peril, flying fire-breathing dragons, talking animals, wizards and sorceresses.  There is also witty dialog, humor, true friendship, danger and a forced quest.

What do you get when you mix all that together?

A really great story that will keep your interest.  Sir Christopher of Calidore’s good deeds, and the knight himself, are legends throughout Christendom.  Many don’t believe he exists.  That is until they find themselves in great peril and Sir Christopher along with his protector, Aurora, swoop in to rescue them.

The two are compelled to spend all of their days doing good deeds–unless the curse that was put on them is lifted.  Sir Christopher has no idea what is needed to make that happen.  Instead of dwelling on it, he trusts God to guide him through it.  In the mean time, he continues his adventures with ogres, damsels in distress, and other harrowing escapades.    

Wow, I didn’t see that one coming!

This tale was not predictable, especially the ending, and the entire book is family friendly. The characters were very believable and their conversations with each other were great.  This book has broad appeal, and although written for teenagers, I think adults would like it as well.  I enjoyed this five-star book and highly recommend this to anyone who wants to be transported by a well-written story to the land of maidens fair and knights of olde.

I’d like to thank the author for providing me with a complimentary copy of this book for the purpose of review. All opinions expressed are my own, and I was not required, or influenced, to give anything but an honest appraisal.
