The Book of Knights
by Yves Meynard

This charming book beautifully follows in the tradition of fairy tales and medieval romances. It's the story of Adelrune, a young boy being brought up by foster parents in a strict religious community. One day he discovers a mysterious book about knights in the attic of his home. He resolves to become a knight and runs away from home a few years later to seek training. The tale itself and its lessons are fairly straightforward, but the telling is thoroughly enchanting.
