Following the welcomed re-release of "Big-Top Benn" comes another addition to the immensely popular collection of original Mr Benn adventures by author and illustrator David McKee. Published in 1967 "Mr Benn - Red Knight" was the first Mr Benn book ever written. It introduces the friendly bowler-hatted character who inspired the legendary TV series which made Mr Benn a household name. In this delightful story, Mr Benn finds himself transported into a medieval world where he assists an unfortunate dragon whose role as firelighter to the king is threatened by a greedy matchmaker. McKee's original artwork will entrance children of all ages in what is sure to become a cult classic for yet another generation of readers.
