The Forgotten Knight
by Emilie DeRitter is an adventure about a knight named Sir Christopher of
Calidore who has been cursed to travel from kingdom to kingdom, doing good
deeds until the end of his days. His traveling companions are a sorceress named
Aurora of Beldain and his faithful horse, Jonathan.
The story opens with a cry for help. Sir Christopher and his
companions follow the sound to find Princess Gwenyth trapped in a mirror. They
defeat the evil wizard, Varuk, and rescue the princess. They agree to take the
princess home. On the journey to Gwenyth’s home, they save a family from a
burning barn, they rescue a band of centaurs from a Cyclops, and they save a
kingdom from an ogre. Duke William of Romalia is grateful for the heroes’
efforts and offers them a place to stay. While they are there, Princess Gwenyth
falls in love with the duke. Sir Christopher leaves her there as he continues
on his task. Along the way, he meets new dangers, new friends, and battles an
old enemy. Will Sir Christopher ever be able to break the curse and live
happily ever after?
I enjoyed this book as a great adventure with fast paced
battles of mystical beasts and knights in shining armor. I enjoyed the
interaction between the characters and I loved the ending which I can’t reveal
but it’s very sweet and touching. I recommend this book for young readers who
are looking for a great adventure story with knights, magic and battles.
