Digory and the Lost King

King Widget has vanished, and once again Digory must give up his simple life of writing poetry and playing his lute to set off on a quest to find the beloved King. As usual, Digory's journey is not without hazard, and Digory must find his courage in order to save the day. With some mud-slinging, a short stay in a dungeon, and—of course—dragons, Digory and the Lost King is a delightful companion to Digory the Dragon Slayer.

“Cutting an engaging, though not particularly knightly, figure in Beck's frequent pen drawings, Digory proves by the end that having a head on one's shoulders--plus a magic sword--is all a hero really needs. Fine fare for fans of Cressida Crowell's Viking farces and other Brit-flavored tales of derring-do.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Illustrated with amusing black-and-white drawings, this lighthearted fantasy spoof is filled with mock heroic dialogue and derring-do.” —School Library Journal
