She had already been different from the other children when she was a baby. From a very young age, she would stand up for the weak, no bullying in her presence. No side wheels for her either, she taught herself how to ride a bike. Nor did she need swimming lessons. It was clear that she would never become a hairdresser, dentist, professor or bee-keeper.

No, she would become a knightness, the bravest knightness of the whole country.

The Adventures Of the Brave Knightness is a collection of exciting and humorous stories about a heroic woman who returns lions to the zoo, catches purse snatchers and rescues bakers from trees.
