The Unbelievable Adventures and Most Tragical Death of Tom Thumb, Knight of Arthur's Court
It's the time of King Arthur, and young Tom wants more than anything to be a knight at the court of Camelot. There's just one problem: Tom is only the size of a man's thumb and has a bad habit of being eaten by things... A many-stomached journey through the madcap adventures of one of Britain's most overlooked folklore heroes on his quest for recognition and glory. Amelia Ace Armande tells a tale of heart, soul, and plenty of guts!
