Sir Charlie Stinky Socks and the Really Big Adventure — Kristina Stephenson

The first in a hilarious picture book series about a brave boy knight

Once upon a time, there was a dark forest, where monstrous trees groaned, terrible beasties moaned, and wiggly woos waited to tickle your toes. Nobody went there until . . .

Sir Charlie Stinkysocks, his good grey mare, and his pet cat decide the time has come for a big adventure. Sir Charlie packs his best sword and his sandwiches and off he goes, across the hills and far away, until he gets to the deep, dark forest. Sir Charlie doesn't flinch when he meets the beasties, or the dragon, or the wily witch, but when he comes across the princess, he realizes he's met his match.
